Ok I deep dove way too hard on Italian Renaissance hats but yes, you’re completely right, both ficino’s cap and the Albanian one share a common progenitor- the Roman pileus. It had a random resurgence in the Renaissance and it lives on as the Albanian hat, lol. Turns out the lil form fitting caps that the Pope and cardinals wear, zucchetto, is also from the same hat lineage, lmao.

It got popular in the renaissance Iin italy again but albanians, slavs and greeks wore them in the middle ages also, the slavs, specifically their toyalty, would put a feather on theirs to differentiate them from the common folk.
Nowadays only albanians and vlachs (people connected to romanians who live in albania, macedonia and greece) wear the plis, as well as the fustanella (kilt style clothes)
Fustanella developed from the tunics of antiquity.
