I’ve been to Florence twice and visited those museums. In Tuscany there seem to be arms and armor museums in many towns. There is a wonderful little museum in Turin. I don’t remember the name right now. If you see an old man mopping the floor or cleaning up, be sure to greet him and ask a question (Italian only). He acts as an informal, undercover docent and is very knowledgeable about every piece you see, and more. This was about 10 years ago. I hope he is still there!
