Armoury

The Castle Armoury, fitted out by Count Vittorio Cini in the late 30s, occupies the lower floor of the medieval Ezzelino’s Tower. It’s divided into 3 main rooms; each room hosts an outstanding and valuable collection of European complete tournament and war armours, helmets, chain mails, swords, daggers, spears, crossbows, fire arms and other war instruments ranging from the Middle Ages till the eighteenth century.
Very notable is the Da Carrara “towered” fireplace in the Captain’s Room, frescoed with the typical red and white chequered decoration of the late fourteenth century.
