Gammarelli (full name Ditta Annibale Gammarelli) is a tailor of liturgical vestments and the official clothier of the pope. The shop opened in 1798 and is located in Rome, just off the Piazza della Minerva and near the Pantheon.
== History == Gammarelli began in 1798 when Giovanni Antonio Gammarelli opened the business, originally serving Roman clergy. After Giovanni, his son Filippo took over the shop, and then Filippo's son, Annibale, succeeded his father. In 1874, Annibale moved the shop from its original location on the Via del Baulari to its current storefront on Via Santa Chiara 34, where it is surrounded by other vendors of church goods in an area that has been compared to London's Savile Row. It is located in the same building as the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. Annibale's sons Bonaventura and Giuseppe renamed the shop "Ditta Annibale Gammarelli" in honor of their father. Bonaventura's son Annibale took over from his father, followed by the sixth generation of the family: Maximillian, Lorenzo and Stefano Paolo.
