It turns out that Francis has his own tailor, who is called Filippo Sochinelli. He not only creates clothes for the Pope, but also invents new scents, writes Nype and nyper.

Interest in religion in 48-year-old Filippo was as a child, when his deeply believing mother, who worked as a cleaner in one of the largest Mondolfo churches, took him with him. While she was busy washing the floor, Mandolfo was engaged in viewing the decoration of the temple, murals, icons. "For the three hours she worked there, I discovered the beauty of the church and her art, various furniture and textiles in the sacristy.

I also found a wardrobe there with a bond of keys hidden next to the incense that opened the dusty door. I climbed small stairs covered with cobwebs, where I found a metal and wooden monster standing on the pedestal, I tried to turn it on the keyboard, but it didn't work, so I continued the attempts when he started playing myself: he started playing music. This story seems somewhat absurd: it is the curiosity of a young child, which then became a thirst for knowledge for the young man.

All this has led to the fact that this medium became part of my creature. I am the one who I am today, through this experience "," - says Sorchinelli, who later founded an exclusive tailoring company LAVS (Laboratorio Atelier Vesti Sacre), which in Latin means "praise" and is responsible for the official liturgical clothing of the Vatican.

My brother and aunts had a small workshop in Mondolfo: here they sewed wedding and other women's clothing. I told them that now we're going to do something completely different: sew the first shit for my friend.

We worked on her for about three months, and in the end she became so successful that I realized that I wanted to make it a living, "the Italian recalls. According to him, in this area there are some canons in clothes that need to be observed, but he Finds space for creativity even here. "It's not just clothing, it is sacred clothing: for the believer in the sacrament of outfit is of great importance," - said Sorchinelli.

According to tailor, all the composition of fabrics, colors and accessories used in the dady clothing is defined together with the team for papal liturgical ceremonies.
