1. Sedia gestatoriaThe gestatorial chair (sedia gestatoria in Italian, lit. "chair for carrying") is a portable ceremonial throne on which Popes were carried until 1978. It consists of a richly adorned, silk-covered armchair, fastened on a suppedaneum, on each side of which are two gilded rings; through these rings pass the long rods with which twelve footmen (palafrenieri), in red uniforms, carry the throne on their shoulders.
