"Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."

is this a PA dressed in Pontificals?? good to see if it is!
For a while, it looked as though the manteletta (which originates in the thirteenth or fourteenth century, I think,) was going the way of the biretta and the humeral veil.
It is good to see these, and other things, have survived.

The gold cord with pectoral implies it's a canon of the Milan See.

Many thanks to JP for the photos.
