The paintining is a sort of manifesto in which every elements get a meanings, the hat too, in a period of wigs, tricorn but also big and wide brimmed soft hats. Here in Italy they are often associated with street brigands
In Germany they (wide brimmed soft hats) were are associated with the 1848 failed Baden revolution and supposedly had an Italian origin (Calabrian, Italian Republicans).
