A 90-year-old Italian immigrant tailor will dress Vice President J.D. Vance for Donald Trump's second inauguration as American president on Monday. The suits, shirts and ties to be worn by Vance at the inauguration ceremonies were hand-made in the Cincinatti shop founded by Romualdo Pelli, who immigrated from Italy in the 1960s. Vance has been a long-time customer of Romualdo's.

"Are you kidding? A country boy who came from Italy from a town of less than 15,000 inhabitants. I would never have dreamed of it," the tailor told a local TV station in the Ohio capital recently Steered by a family friend who had deemed him too fragile for other professions, Romualdo has been sewing since he was eight years old and lived in Formia, on the Tyrrhenian coast between Rome and Naples.
