there were two cannon and this was the more interesting one with a double barrel.

Very very nice. They even have a couple dha! I am planning a trip to Italy this spring/summer (including Verona, where my wife has family). I think Venice just got added to the list of stops. Its not terribly far from Verona, after all.

Nicest double barrel I have ever seen. Do they have any keris there at all...anywhere?

OUTSTANDING to bring this up to our attention ! The double barelled lantaka left me just like zamboanga speechless ... And all that wealth of Malay weaponry could make most museums blush ... the proto-kerises in display (one piece handle and blade) are just ,, tres extraordinaire ,, !
Youre a good man ! By the way are you located in bella Italia or were you just vacationing from somewhere else ?

this was a holiday and finding the room was an accident. i was aware of the japanese collection but decided to miss it and concentrate on finding the ottoman arms scattered around the city. as the contemporary art museum turned out to be in the same building, i thought i would pop in.
my interest and knowledge is not in this area, but thought it must be relatively unknown as it isnt listed anywhere. another one-piece keris is in the royal armouries and apparantly dated 15thC?
