An example of an extremely rare Lombard object is this great concealment, found in the castle of Calchis in Euboea. Luigi Marzoli disputed the purchase with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where all the other Calchis finds are kept. This piece testifies to a particular moment of Lombard production, probably Milanese, as suggested by the crowned P mark, similar to the one found on the oldest surviving plate armor, preserved in Castel Coira and on a basin found in a well in the Palazzo Comunale di San Gimignano, traditionally attributed to Pietro Missaglia. This type of helmets, which represents an involution in the manufacture of helmets compared to contemporary specimens, was intended for the Venetian market to arm their men-at-arms also in service, as in this case, in the overseas territories.

The hat, of German production, of which only three examples are preserved in the world, well represents the intent of the Cavaliere Marzoli to collect the best quality and rarest pieces.

This armor was found together with another similar one in a castle in the province of Brescia. Both purchased from Marzoli, only one became part of the civic collection. It is an open field armor, a tournament on horseback in which the contenders faced each other within a competition being able to move freely, and, therefore, being able to hit the opponent from any side. This required better protections and therefore parts were added to the armor, called "patches", which went to protect the most exposed parts, giving the knight the peculiar asymmetrical appearance.

One of the most refined horse objects is the headboard engraved with the monogram "Medinaceli", referring to Juan della Cerda, fourth duke of Medinaceli and governor of Sicily since 1557. The headboard is of considerable importance, not only for the splendid workmanship of the artifact or because of the importance of the client, but also because all the other pieces are still preserved in various armories around the world: in the Royal Armory of Turin there is the horse armor with part of the bard, in the armory of the castle Konopiste the buckler and the interlocking helmet at the Art Museum in Philadelphia.

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.

Firearms are still the flagship of Brescia's arms production. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the barrels produced above all by the artisans of Gardone Val Trompia were famous all over the world and some dynasties of gunsmiths enjoyed enormous fame. Among these the Cominazzo family stood out, who generally signed themselves as Lazarino Cominazzo, who made famous the reeds they produced, called "lazarine reeds", to the point that already in ancient times their signature was forged even in the East.

One of the most important pieces in the collection is the barrier corselet which probably belonged to Carlo Emanuele I of Savoy, or to one of his sons. It is one of the most important armorer's works that came out of a Milanese workshop at the end of the sixteenth century and bears the mark of the Master of the Castello a Tre Torri, an armorer who remained anonymous, but who has marked a large number of luxury armor that still today they stand out for perfection and refinement. Together with Pompeo della Cesa, the Master of the Castle introduced a new lexicon in the forging and decoration of armor in the years between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the Brescia corselet is a testament to this: forged with thick and robust plates, but with an almost perfect articulation of the limbs. The barrier corsets are among the most resistant, since the type of tournament was particularly bloody: two teams of knights faced each other on foot, with all types of weapons, but separated by a barrier, and therefore it was not necessary to protect the legs. Victory went to those who managed to knock out all opponents.
