On 7th June I visited Mr Beltrán Medrano-Tomás in his shop in Madrid.
In the past I published some article about the wonderful religious hats this very talented craftsman is creating:
Cappello Romano (Saturno) versus the Spanish "Sombrero de Teja"
Jesuit Biretta
Cantor's Hat Worn in Spain
Sombrero Arzobispal by Sombrereria Medrano

He belongs to the best of his profession. Here some impressions:
I never saw such a hughe range of ancient patterns to make birettas, bonetes and soli deo.
Patterns to make birettas
The differences are in the form and dimension of the horns/blades/wings
and the height of the biretta itselfs.
The last pictures shows the pattern of the biretta of Cardinal Enrique Pla y Deniel.

With his talented hands Mr Medrano also makes little hats (miniatures):
Mini bonete
Mini sombrero de teja (cappello romano, saturno)
They can be used as a souvenir or for decoration of statues.
