ARMI BIANCHE NELL’ARTE DELLA GUERRA segue l’evoluzione delle lame e il loro utilizzo nei conflitti armati. L’esposizione presso il MuGot comprende sciabole, baionette, pugnali, e lame che hanno caratterizzato gli scontri in varie epoche storiche. Numerosi i reperti provenienti da vari paesi, risalenti al XIX e al XX secolo. Molte di queste armi bianche, tuttavia, erano utilizzate esclusivamente come simbologia di rango e grado.
For the reigning princes, the equipment of bladed weapons, swords, daggers and stilettos represented one of the recognizable attributes of rank and power. And the Medici were, of course, no exception, as also highlighted in the portrait of Grand Duke Francesco I present at the Scarperia exhibition. For the occasion, the MUGOT hosts a temporary exhibition dedicated to the history of bladed weapons and the visit will allow us to examine their evolution from the Renaissance to the present day.
