Arms and Armours didactic desk

 The arms and armours desk of the Compagnia di Chiaravalle
With this didactic desk we offer to the public’s interest the full equipment of a knight or man-at-arms from the XII-XIII centuries, ranging from the various components of armour, such as mail coifs, hauberks and helms, to offensive weaponry, like swords and shields, axes, maces, spears and daggers.
The public is also encouraged to touch and try on the defensive equipment, to better get the feel of its weight and physicality.
We also indulge in showing the technique for linking metal rings in chain mail preparation.

Finally, this desk represents an opportunity for the public to demand any sort of question, to satisfy their curiosity, not only about medieval arms and armour, but about the medieval times in general.
