Landau
The only example of a Papal Landau, this carriage, which may easily be transformed into an open vehicle, enabled the Pontiff to be visible to the public during transit.
As comfortable as a berlin carriage and elegant as a gig, it can carry up to four passengers. It was produced in Rome by the carriage manufacturer Carlo Ferretti (whose signature is found on the pinions of the wheels and on the headlamps) during the pontificate of Leo XIII, but it was also used by Pius XI, as shown by the emblem painted on the doors.
