I want to know the name of the tailoring company which supplies the pope with his basic clothing and cassocks. I understand it is a small Italian family company, but I want to know more about them. |

Hi amacphail1, Thank you for an interesting question. Maximillian Gammarelli's family "Gammarelli's", a tailor shop in Rome, has been providing vestments and ecclesiastical clothing for Popes and Cardinals for more than 200 years. Maximillian Gammarelli's family have been running the business for six generations http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/3582288.stm ========= "...the chosen outfitter is Gammarelli, tailors by papal appointment, whose family has been dressing Catholic clergy since 1793. John Paul is the shop's leading customer." http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1433089,00.html ========= http://travel2.nytimes.com/mem/travel/article-page.html?res=9B00E1D91E39F930A35750C0A960958260&n=Top%2fFeatures%2fTravel%2fDestinations%2fEurope%2fItaly THE white skullcap in Gammarelli's window discreetly signals the shop's status: tailor for two centuries to the popes and princes of the Roman Catholic Church. ========= Best regards, tlspiegel |
