Verified profile

In the seventeenth century the knight's armor undergoes profound changes. Lighter, they cover the legs thanks to the shrimp-crusted scarselloni that protect the legs up to the knee, leaving the lower part free, to allow you to put on the bulky boots. They were used by cuirassiers armed with a pair of guns from the anchor and operated in a row in front of the enemy lines, unloading the guns on the enemies and, while reloading, they repositioned themselves at the bottom of the column, in order to concentrate a continuous fire on the enemy ranks. This armor is typical of the seventeenth century and is characterized by being totally covered with engravings that recall a battle against the Turks.
