Amongst the many remarkable features of Benedict XVI's Pontificate is the rather singular distinction of having used more mitres as Pope than all of his predecessors of the last 200 hundred years put together! The mitres of Pope Benedict fall (almost) into two categories: those used during the tenure of
Marini the First (Piero Marini) and those used during the tenure of
Marini the Second (Guido Marini).
In our previous post, we detailed vestments given to Pope Benedict during his visit to Venice in 2011, including a mitre. In this post, we shew further similar mitres of Pope Benedict, all of Italian manufacture. All of these mitres are firmly based in Mediaeval exemplars and are tastefully ornamented with precious stones.
