The Story of Capuchino (KAP-YOU-CHEEN-O) Capuchino "KAP-YOU-CHEEN-O" hat is the way to pronounce the word "Capuchino," the Spanish form of "Capuchin," which greets the eye so many times, in and around San Francisco, these days. The word, literally, means "hood on the head" and was first given to that order of Franciscan monks, which was started, in the year 1525, by Father Matteo di Bassi, in Italy. Thope Clement VII gave the priest the right to wear the "cap habit" and to live in the strictest poverty. Matteo had been led to that step by a typical incident, which recalls to mind a bit of the charming history of the famous St. Francis. The friar had been attending a funeral, and was returning to his convent, when he met a beggar by the wayside, barely clad. Moved with compassion, Matteo gave the beggar part of his own clothing. Shortly after, the friar was in prayer when he heard a voice, which three times admonished him, saying "Observe the rule to the letter," whereupon, he arose and taking an old habit, made a long pointed hood out of the cape.
