10. Various of Mancinelli trying on the white cassock he’s sewing
11. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Raniero Mancinelli, tailor to various popes and owner of religious garments shop:
"What is needed is the white cassock, the sash that I have already prepared, which is this one over here, the sash and the zucchetto, and that’s it, those are the things. Then he puts on the stole, but they already have it, no problem. What we need to prepare are these three things: the white cassock, the sash, and the zucchetto."

"It’s a mystery, no one knows who it will be (the next pope), let’s hope it’s a friend of mine. A cardinal I’ve already served, I’ve served several, I have a relationship with several cardinals. I’ve made red cassocks and I hope to make some white ones."

22. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Lorenzo Gammarelli, 6th generation representative of the Gammarelli tailor shop:
"The reason (why we will not be making the new pope’s cassock) is something I will not speculate on because it is obviously not up to us. We are happy to do what is asked of us and we are available, but we will stop there. Obviously we are a little sorry, because in the sadness caused by the death of the Holy Father, we still would have the beautiful thing of having to make the trousseau for the new one. Not this time."
23. Pan left of popes’ portraits served by the Gammarelli tailor shop, from Pius XI to Pope Francis
24. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Lorenzo Gammarelli, 6th generation representative of the Gammarelli tailor shop:
"Usually, for the election of the new Pope, we provided a white cassock, a red mozzetta worn over the shoulders, which Pope Francis never wanted to wear, the sash worn around the waist, and then the zucchetto worn on the head. These are the essential items."
