| This tiara I think belonged to Pius IX |
 |
| This tiara was given to Pius VII by Napoleon, using jewels he had earlier plundered from the Papacy |
 |
| The tiara at right belonged to the famous "Warrior Pope" Julius II, who, despite his fierce reputation in battle, was also the greatest art patron in the history of the Papal succession. |
