This photo is not from Pius XII's coronation, of which there are no colour photos extant. It was taken in the late 1950s, during a papal procession. At the coronation, the pope wears mass vestments and not the papal mantle (cope) which Pius XII is wearing in this photo. -Athanasius McVay, June 18 2005!! good job.
