GALERO hat for Cardinal Catholic Prelates

Galero hat
In the Catholic Church, the term galero means a large prelate hat, not to be confused with saturn. There are two versions of the galero: a wearable version, equipped with a cord that acts as a wimple and a certain number of tassels that descend laterally, used by bishops, archbishops, patriarchs and cardinals; and a non-wearable version, exclusively cardinal, consisting of a very wide-brimmed hat fitted, as an independent and detached accessory, with a tassel of tassels.
Until John XXIII, the cardinals received the galero from the pontiff’s hands on the day of their public appointment.
The galero cardinalizio has a round, flat shape, with a low cap, a very wide brim edged with a silk ribbon, all red, with wool in the upper part and silk in the lower part and in the interior. A double silk cord, also red, acts as a wedge, which descends from the sides of the galero, the two ends of which end together, in the lower part, with a large fringed bow.
