There is a short, red fur-lined elbow-length cape called a mozzetta. |
The mozzetta of the canons of Klosterneuburg is usually decorated at the neck with violet tassels and cords. |
The mozzetta is the same color as the cassock, and is usually worn only by cardinals and bishops. |
Lastly, from the cappa is probably derived the mozzetta, a short cape with a miniature hood, fastened down the front with buttons. |
In the background, one can make out the scarlet of a Cardinal, whose biretta is tuftless and who wears the scarlet mozzetta over his mantelletta. |
In Rome the cardinals wear the mozzetta over the mantelletta, except in their titular churches, when it is worn immediately over the rochet. |
