List of hats and headgear

The Zucchetto is small skull cap worn by senior clergy of the Roman Catholic church. As with much ecclesiastical apparel the colour of the zucchetto denotes the wearers rank: the Pope's zucchetto is white, those worn by cardinals are red, and those worn by bishops are purple. By special papal privilege other clergy sometimes are given permission to wear the zucchetto; in these circumstances the cap is invariably black.
