The bodyguard of the Doge of Venice was comprised of Schiavone. In flamboyant Turkish costume and armed with their elegant broadswords, schiavonas, they rivaled the winged hussars of their northern neighbor, Poland, for flair and ferocity. The schiavona descended directly from the Gothic broadsword and never los ...click for details

It was carried by a foot soldier in partial armor to attack an opponent similarly protected. Variations include examples with shell guards to the right side as well as rings, as with this example. The blade is large and heavy enough to inflict damage to the lightly protected arms and hands and its cutting edge is effective at slashing any less protected areas. The decoration of the bla ...click for details
