Lorenzo Gammarelli

Lorenzo Gammarelli is the current manager of Gammarelli, a historic tailoring shop in Rome established in 1798, renowned for crafting the papal vestments worn by newly elected popes. Under his guidance since 2016, the shop has continued its tradition of preparing custom cassocks for the Vatican, although recent changes have seen the use of existing garments, reflecting Pope Francis's environmentally conscious values. Gammarelli expressed disappointment at not being able to outfit the new pope for the upcoming conclave, highlighting the shop's storied legacy and the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating the garments that signify the papacy.
