Women wear black when meeting the pope as a sign of respect and modesty. This tradition, known as "il velo," dates back centuries and is rooted in the Catholic Church's customs regarding attire for women in the presence of the Holy See. Additionally, the black attire symbolizes mourning and humility, reflecting the gravity of the occasion. The practice is particularly observed by women who are not heads of state.
