First Painting of the Cardinal's Galero

The Stefaneschi Tryptich

You see Cardinal Jacopo Caetani degli Stefaneschi (* Rome, 1270 circa – † Avignon, June 23, 1343)  genuflecting in front of Jesus Christ. On the Oriental carpet, decorated with red and blue eagles,  you can recognize the red galero lying in front of him.

This is the first picture of the galero, the hat given by the pope to the cardinals during the consitory.

Biretta - Don Camillo Hat

Biretta worn by a priest in Alegia, Spain

This biretta is made by an injection moulding machine using some artificial textile material.

In Germany you can buy such a model to combine with a fancy dress worn during carnival (Mardi Gras). Sometimes this kind of hat is called "Don Camillo Hat" after the character Don Camillo Tarocci.
