In use among prehistoric populations to cover themselves from the cold and more recently from the heat thanks to the introduction of panamas on the beaches, hats have always been a source of pride for Italian manufacturing. Must haves for the cold season are wool hats with pom-poms or warm berets. Bandana headdresses , fedoras or eye-catching hats with feathers like those worn by Queen Elizabeth are sparkling accessories that cannot fail to be shown off.
