The Young Pope dresses were designed by Carlo Poggioli

Since 1990, after the death of its founder, Sartoria Tirelli is led by Dino Trappetti, Gabriella Pescucci and Giorgio D'Alberti. The new directors have followed Tirelli's guidelines, continuing to work with the same passion and dedication as ever, and still bringing many successes within the tailor's shop. The story continues, in short, and arrives to the present day. In fact, the costumes of the two most followed and appreciated TV series of the moment were made just inside the famous Roman tailoring. We are talking about clothes for The Young Pope and the Medici. Two international productions that wanted to celebrate the elegance and attention to detail of the best Italian tailors and costume designers.
The Young Pope dresses were designed by Carlo Poggioli and Luca Canfora. Poggioli was trained in the school of Gabriella Pescucci (one of the firm points of Sartoria Tirelli) and has been able to create incredible and majestic costumes, but at the same time elegant and refined. In addition, some cloaks - dating back to the eighteenth century - have been recovered from the various collections in the tailor's warehouse. In fact, it is precisely this that started Umberto Tirelli, collecting and collecting clothes of various kinds, coming from flea markets , convents and donations.

The costumes of the Medici, instead, were designed by the costume designer Alessandro Lai. His idea was to revive the Medici style, a simple and clean style, which was also reflected in their morale, and has established itself in the fashion of time. In a recent interview, the costume designer claimed to have been inspired by the Medici family paintings and to have thought of a contrast between the Medici and their "enemies": the other noble families, in fact, are represented with a more sumptuous and decorated style, while the Medici always remain very sober and simple, almost conservative.
Among all the costumes used (about 7000), we will find repertoire clothes, from the warehouse, and new clothes, designed and made specifically for the protagonists of the series. One last little curiosity: it seems that Dustin Hoffman wanted to meet the seamstresses of Tirelli to thank them for their excellent work.
