A journey through the historical evolution of bladed weapons and the panoply, known as the armor of the warrior and the soldier. To discover the secrets of medieval weapons and armor through related studies, the Polo Museale of Sardinia, with the contribution of the cultural association, Memoriae Milites, will host a conference presented by Andrea Garau from the University of Cagliari, titled “The art of weapons.
