The all-hallowed Capello Romano...

You've all asked for it and here it is: the capello Romano! About a dozen times a year I see this hat on the streets of Rome. When my pastor studied here in the 1950s he saw hundreds every day. Today, the enemies of the Church hate this hat as it sings of the priesthood. But us, well, we just love it!

Is that the same thing as the saturno?

Yes, it's called in Italian a "saturno" (saturn), but also a "padella" (a pan).
