Recently we featured a solemn Mass set of Msgr. Gaspare Cantagalli, the one time Vice President of the Vatican Secretariat of State, and today I wished to share a few more of his vestments -- all of which come from the twentieth century. To date, all of the vestments I have come across that are associated with him have shown themselves to be of a particularly fine and Roman quality so it seems they are worth dwelling on a bit further.
The first pieces worth taking a look at are this red lamé cppe and dalmatic, done in fairly typical Roman style all said, but with the addition of embroidered fleur-de-lys.

Finally, we have this red silk lamé set. It is very simple in its design in one sense, but the quality of the materials is superb.
