Weapons Room

Fondazione Museo Miniscalchi-Erizzo

Fondazione Museo Miniscalchi-Erizzo
Verona, Italy

At the time of the counts Mario and Anna Miniscalchi-Erizzo (the last inhabitants of this palace), these two connected rooms were used as service rooms.
In these spaces are exhibited objects dated between the mid-15th century and the early 17th century. There are two types of armour: those really used to fight and those for parade use which are decorated and called “luxury weapons”. A perfect example is the “morione” in the central case, richly decorated and engraved, dated 1587.
One object of particular interest is the helmet beaked sparrow on the right, which represents the brand of the manufacturer (GIS, Giovanni dei Salimbeni) at the end of the 15th century.
