Vittorio Nino Novarese, a recognised costume expert, created the tunic cape worn by Richard Burton for his performance as Mark Antony in the 1963 film Cleopatra. This opulent garment, with intricate detailing and luxurious fabric, played a crucial role in the film's ability to capture the grandeur of ancient Egypt.
