I finally got the English name of these weapons. is "Bohemian earspoon" and, according to research just completed, "Chiaverina" is the Italianization of Knebelspiess.
Some of my friends confirmed that the type of weapons to the museum is of Germanic origin and dating at the first half of the 15th century. In line with the siege of 1439, described in detail by a certain Sanuto, a few years later.
In that siege, the village and the fortress of Legnago were completely destroyed, but the losses among the German soldiers besiegers, were very heavy.
Thank you sincerely for all the answers. Are giving me a very valuable help
