The story of the hat is uncertain. But the hat has a legend. The legend says that the hat began as a useful object and then becomes an ornament, more and more fantastic. When it appears to become just fantasy, back to the essentials, and start again. It 's always been that way. At the beginning of all there are always, according to legend, the Chinese. Maybe it really was from the East that cone of mixed hair with horse urine, which for centuries was the way in which the most obscure people, around the Mediterranean, covered his head. The wealthy and rich Romans Greeks did not contented. They tried everything: experienced the kausia, the cecrifalo, the Cucullo, the headset, the petasus, the pileus, the tutulo. In the end it was only the cone unnamed. Modern man, according to the legend, began in the Middle Ages: in principle, the gentlemen wore the cap, and any people, however, was put on the head with the sun and the rain, a hat made of hair that clung indissolubly together like men who bore and which, from generation to generation, they too s'infeltrivano around the castles forming the village, the compact fabric of a new society. Legend insists that hat became beautiful, because the lords began again only useful as it was, to have specific ideas, in terms of beauty, and wanted hats that were in line with the rediscovery of the world through man. It was almost a badge, and there was those who kept the hood. They wanted wars and invasions for dropping those caps: with the soldiers is exaggerated, of course, and imagination no longer had brakes. The dark hat, hat and became prince of fashion, had pens and colors, glory and imagination. On the wig, he widened; then he got up on three sides; a luxury triumph domain. But it did not last, as the legend teaches: the revolution that abolished the wigs he also dropped the prince hat. So began our hat. It was not the Phrygian cap that painters, ill-informed, they put in the allegorical paintings, in the years when the little corporal demanded his brief fashion. What then was born the modern hat, useful and great together, and his direct ancestors were the hat bushel (1796), the cylinder (x8o5), the opera hat (18x2.). Handed down even dates, a sign that began the century of reason and enlightenment. The nineteenth found his hat c never left him. But the legend goes, c confirms the story, since then not much has changed.
