Question Florence/Firenze armories or shops?

I am in Florence, Italy for a few days. Does any know of any collections to view, and/or shops to visit?

I have some pictures from an armory in Milan that I will post as soon as possible. Interesting cinquedas, kindjals, and a saber once belonging to a young Napolean.

Best Regards,

Dave A.

I was in Florence in April.

The arms and armour room of the Bargello is excellent, but you will need to contact the curator to make arrangements to view.

Please PM me for her email address.

I always recommend the Museo Stibbert to folks headed to Florence. Hope you have fun.

Hello,

The 'Gallori Turchi' has been recommended by a friend of mine who has recently visited. Said to be Florence's largest and most important dealers in arms and armour, but this I cannot confirm. May be worth a look. Have fun, I am very jealous!

Regards
