Authentic skullcap worn by Pope Francis - 21st Century

An host of an Italian tv-show managed to trade hats with the pontiff as he rode around St. Peter's Square. He reached out towards Francis with a new skullcap. Security handed the skullcap to the pope, who stopped the car, examined it, put it on his head, and gave the old one back. Now he is selling it on Catawiki. Part of the proceeds of this lot will go to the charity Save a Child’s Heart. ''It was June 4, 2014 when, during the general audience in St Peter's square in Rome, my eyes crossed that of Francis. After exchanging glances, a gesture: my exchanges headdress with that of the Holy Father. A simple gesture, but equivalent to the Christian religion to have received a pardon. The magnetic effect of the object owned and worn by the pope was immediate, so much so that the skullcap still bears today a slight sign of lipstick as a faithful, who wanted to kneel and kiss the Holy Father's headgear. The extraordinary, how very human, a gift from the pope, is documented and witnessed by a video which was narrated by the Italian media''. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/P-w71zbgiOQ This precious gift is a chance to do something useful. Therefore, part of the proceeds of this lot will go to the charity Save a Child’s Heart.
