Description
In a small room in Vatican City, Ety Cicioni has been tailoring the famous Michaelangelo-designed uniforms of the Swiss Guards for the past 25 years. Born in Giulianova, a small town in central Italy, Cicioni began to work as a tailor at the age of 17 before moving at the age of 26, in 1997, to the tailor's workshop. Today he and his fellow artisans produce about 50 uniforms per year, each made up of 154 pieces and 42 buttons sewn by hand over the course of about 39 hours of work.
