Being a brescian citizen I couldn't miss a visit to the town's Marzoli armor museum.

The Spadona Bresciana (well, what you call Brescia's spadona) sits there mostly undisturbed except for the few visitors who bother climbing the hill where the still intact venetian castle resides.

This summer I paid a visit to the Museum along with the british reporter Jack Depczyck, who gently gave me a copy of the many pictures he took during the visit.

I have many other pics, mainly of XVI century fine engraved armor, that I will be posting here with a limited permission by Mr Depczick (http:///www.eyeball.co.uk), who gave them to me with the understanding that no picture could be used for personal or commercial works other than this postings.

Very nice! I'd like to take that trek up the hill to see it as well.

Here is another photo:

Sorry for the poor, italian only website, the town administration is strongly left - wing so they wouldn't spend a dime to publicize something even loosely related to war.

Anarchists get free housing, however.

I will do my best to spread knowledge of this beautiful castle and its collection.

Thanks for the pictures guys, I've got a Brecia in hand at the moment, now I've got something to compare it against... :)

Thanks for the brescia spadona's picture. It shows something I've been looking for.
