Armored breastplate crafted by Filippo Negroli (fl.1532-51), made of metal. Currently part of the collection at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence, Italy.

The breastplate hails from a period when armor was evolving not just as a tool of war but as a symbol of prestige and personal expression. During the Renaissance, Italian armorers like Filippo Negroli brought new artistic vision into the field. This period saw the development of highly decorative armor intended for parades, tournaments, and ceremonial purposes rather than the battlefield. Armor became a status symbol, worn by the elite and often featuring mythological or naturalistic designs.

heyyy, you probs have strong opinions on helmets, so i'll ask about your strong opinions on helmets.

I have strong opinions on everything, but when it comes to helmets i only really have the big 4:

Italians did more evil by being armorsmiths than fascists.

2. The hounskull is a great gift (for your enemy)

3. 4 centuries worth of German smiths did more for our collective culture as mankind than the entirety of japan in it's whole exsistance.

4. Sallets are the figurative Pugs of helmet world. The further they strayed from the kettle shape the worse they got.
