The document discusses women's outerwear in 15th century Italy. In the summer, women often went outside without extra layers and only wore the giornea if they needed an overdress. The pellanda was the winter overdress, as seen in frescoes and paintings from the time period. It had bag sleeves and a crew neckline, and was decorated with pearls, fur, and dags on the sleeves. The pellanda gathered below the belt and had a broad skirt.

without any overdress outside of the house, as


evidenced by a letter that Fiametta Adimari’s
husband wrote stating that she didn’t need to
pack her cioppe because of the heat. When an
overdress was worn, since it was summer, it
was the giornea.

The pellanda was the winter overdress of


the quattrocento and is found in the frescoes of
Piero della Francesca and the paintings of
Ghirlandaio. Instead of the high neckline found
in trecento versions, the quattrocento version has
a crew neckline and bag sleeves. This garment
was lined and richly ornamented with pearls
and fur around the neckline, edges, hem, and
cu s. The breadth of the dress was gathered
into folds and held in place with a belt placed
above the waist. Dags were commonly found on
the side sleeves.
