Context

Bandini Vestments from Queen, No. 1, ca. 1894-1897 We believe these were the vestments that were given to Pietro Bandini by Queen Margherita for his service to Italian immigrants. He may have picked them up in New York in late 1896 or early 1897 when he was meeting with the second group headed to Sunnyside.
