The saturno is a headgear worn by ecclesiastical of the Catholic Church of Roman and Ambrosian rite, with the talar dress. It is also called "Roman Hat"

It cannot be used in liturgical rites. As the word itself says is a hat circular shape with a wide tense usually flat but which can be folded on the sides, with the perfectly semi-spherical cap.

Usually it is color black and can be ornamented with different colored bows, symbol of the different degree of prelates: green for the bishops, red for the cardinals. The one in the Pope instead it is color red with gold ornaments, slightly folded to the sides and supported with two golden cords.

To take your hat size you have to measure the circumference of the head about a centimeter above the ear.

The measure in centimeters thus obtained corresponds to the European system (EU), as shown in the table below.

In the assessment of the measure considered that:

1. Better a slightly abundant hat rather than a tight, with a small thickness or a small inner seam is easy to shrink it.

2. If you have a lot of hair you will have a greater tolerance, the hair acts as a natural "absorber".

3. If you have shaved hair or are bald, you will have to do more  Be careful to calculate your size and you will have less tolerance, you can switch from the feeling of "straight" to "largo" in a few millimeters.

4. "soft" hats and caps allow greater tolerance, 

5. "rigid" caps and caps need more attention in the calculation of the measurement. It is also useful to know the shape of your head. It can be "round" or "oval", communicating it at the time of purchase, we can conform the hat (e.g. a craft cylinder ) before sending it.

6. If you have a very round head avoid the rigid hats with all the stretches lowered, prefer those with raised back weaves

7. To slightly widen a hat sometimes is really small, slowly use your knee or fists of your hands, you can also earn a centimeter.
