AP PHOTOS: Papal tailors prepare for transition
- Cardinals are gathering in Rome to start the conclave next week to vote for the successor to Pope Francis.
- The conclave follows a secretive process aimed more at inspiration from the Holy Spirit than politicking, with no clear frontrunners.
- Two longtime papal tailors in Rome, including Raniero Mancinelli and Lorenzo Gammarelli, are preparing for the transition but have not received new cassock orders yet.
- Mancinelli, working since the 1960s just near the Vatican, has prepared three robes in small, medium, and large sizes to donate, noting Francis preferred simpler designs.
- This conclave may require adjustments like past instances when cassocks needed altering, highlighting tailors' behind-the-scenes roles in presenting new popes visually.
