Un caro saluto a tutti
Sto catalogando e restaurando le armi di un museo italiano. La Fondazione Fioroni.
http://www.fondazione-fioroni.it/

Ora sto catalogando la collezione di armi medievali, rinvenute durante lavori di scavo nel fiume Adige a Legnago, vicino a Verona.
La collezione comprende armi dal 5° secolo ai primi 1600 Queste armi sono state impiegate nelle numerose battaglie che si svolsero presso la fortezza di Legngo. Una importante fortezza di confine, testimone di vicende fondamentali per la storia d'Italia.
Vorrei condividere con voi la gioia delle scoperte che costellano questo mio nuovo incarico. Mi rivolgo a voi per migliorare e ottimizzare l'identificazione. e metto a disposizione del forum tutta la mia esperienza in materia.
Per ora, vi mando un piccolo assaggio
Un caro saluto a tutti

Hello everyone
I am cataloging and restoring the arms of an Italian museum. The Foundation Fioroni.
http://www.fondazione-fioroni.it/

Now I am cataloging the collection of medieval weapons, found during excavations in the river Adige in Legnago, near Verona.
The collection includes weapons from the 5th century to the early 1600 These weapons were used in the many battles that took place at the fortress of Legngo. An important border fortress, a witness to events central to the history of Italy.
Let me share with you the joy of discovery that dot my new role. I appeal to you to improve and optimize the identification. provides the forum and all my experience in this field.
For now, I send you a little taste

Greetings to all

Caesare

Aspettiamo con ansia le foto.

An introduction worthy of rolling out the proverbial red carpet, IMHO...

I will be bookmarking this thread and revisiting it often in anticipation of seeing some of the items under (or soon to be under) your curatorial care.

Welcome to the forum Cesare. I will very much be looking forward to further developments in this thread.

Regards,

Chris

Hi Cesare,

The sword you posted is of characteristic North Italian type, ca. 1300.

Please share more early weapons in that museum with us; my special interest and expertise are earliest firearms of the 14th to the 17th centuries, as well as period ammunition and all accouterments.

Best,
Michael
