Royal Armoury of Turin and its collection
Source
The Royal Armoury of Turin (Armeria Reale) is one of the world’s most important collections of arms and armour. The collection is formed by the Savoy family, a royal family that was established in 1003 in the historical Savoy region. Highlights in the collection the museum holds include: the sword of San Maurizio, made in the 13th century and still preserved with its 15th-century leather case; a 14th-century enamel horse bit; a 16th-century pistol of the emperor Charles V; multiple examples of very precious armour; and rich arms such as the sword used by Napoleon during his campaign in Egypt.
