[edit] Source for " Gonfalone is not used in the Sede vacante"

This is a common misconception. It is caused by the Italians who confused the two words. A gonfalone is a flag, in the period of "Sede vacante" an umbrella is used in the Vaticans Cardinal-camerlengo's heraldric device. Because the umbrella was often painted on the flag people started to call the flag after the illustration. Sources:
