At last the Pontiff appeared on St. Peter's balcony. The great moment arrived. Cardinal Deacon Caccia-Dominioni chanted "Accipe tiaram" (Receive the tiara). The crowd below saw the Cardinal lift the gem-studded, beehive-shaped triple crown of the papacy and place it on the head of its wearer. Then the multitude dropped to its knees as Pius XII raised his hand in blessing...

Others: Most Rev. Carlo Salotti, secretary of the Congregation for the Propagation of Faith (missions); Monsignor Nicola Canali, assessor of the Congregation of the Holy Office (the Church's watchdog in matters of faith and morals); Monsignor Domenico...
Sharp-eyed Catholics will note that in almost every sequence Pius XI is accompanied by his favorite secretary, Monsignor Camillo Caccia Dominioni, who is supposed to have been secretly nominated a Cardinal last spring. The four U. S. Cardinals appear, with the camera most friendly to New York's amiable Hayes. The famed Swiss Guards parade in the uniforms which Michelangelo designed for them-cuirasses, helmets, ruffs, yellow, red and black striped knickerbockers. In the larger scenes-the raising of the Cross in the Coliseum, the Chicago and Dublin Eucharistic Congresses, the opening of the Holy Year last April...
