A swept hilt sword for Christmas

I got the thing well before christmas; but only had a quick look and wraped it back to add to the gifts pile.
Now i can handle it. A considerable weight (1,300 Kg.) ... at least for me, being no Tarzan. Edges rather sharp. Beautiful pommel.
... And indeed a left hander

.
I know nothing about (these) swords, but something in its swept enhance reminds me of certain Schianovas

.
This to say that this specimen would indeed be Italian.
