We present 54 open-access pages from the 2018 publication Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination (the fruit of the controversial and widely commented-on exhibition of the same name), dedicated to treasures from the papal sacristy. They are accompanied by extensive commentary by the papal vestment expert and scholar, Marzia Cataldi Gallo.
