MAIL ONLINE: It is not the sort of get-up you'd expect the Pope to sport.

But Pope Benedict XVI broke with tradition by wearing a baseball cap as he went for a stroll around his summer residence on Sunday.

The 83-year-old even colour-coordinated his new cap, perhaps mindful of the need for it to blend in with his white robe and white hair.

Pope Benedict donned the trendy hat as he walked around his estate in Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome.

The cap also served the more useful purpose of keeping the hot summer sun off the Pope's head. >>> Mail Foreign Service | Tuesday, July 27, 2010
