Description: Genova: De Ferrari, 2011. 29cm., hardcover, 175pp. text and catalogue with numerous color plates. Summary: Le vesti dei Papi is aimed to illustrate for the first time the liturgical vestments and some items related to daily dress of Popes. These really extraordinary vestments, mostly enriched with golden embroideries, are kept in the Papal Sacristy near the Sistine Chapel and have never been shown before. This first book describes the liturgical vestments of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries (from Paul V (1605-1620) to Pius VI (1717-1799)), the second – whose pubblication is expected for next year – will be a survey of the vestments of Popes who have been elected between the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. The oldest vestments preserved are those of Pope Paul V, brocaded with the emblems of the important Borghese family, just like those of the other popes who followed richly decorated with the arms of their families in the redundant baroque taste inspired by the greatest artists of the period as Bernini. In addition to liturgical vestments there are references to every day pontifical vestments.
