Gregor mentioned Cardinal Cicognani's "mile-high" biretta in the comments. However, it seems that Cicognani was not the inventor but just a friend of said biretta.
Check out the pre-revolutionary French cardinal's biretta with tuft on Leon Cardinal Potier de Gesvres (1656-1744)! How's the air up there?
