The dalmatic (liturgical vestment derived from the Late Roman garment with the same name) was worn by the deacons in Latin Catholic Church. This dress, mainly used in the Holy Liturgy, was often decorated in silk and gold embroidery, and splendid specimens were realised by the Italian workshops of the Florentine Republic, one of the richest Italian states of the Renaissance.
