The temptation to try a few practice swings must have been incredible,you showed remarkable restraint sir ,well done to all involved

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Ahahah, thanks ;-)

[@ricardodemarco3486]

Exactly my thoughts.

[@yoshi658]

after coming back from practicing reglas I decide to clean my montante while watching youtube.
Federico post this
I guess today is montante day for me
Great video

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Perfectly in time it seems!

[@williampanagopoulos656]

....I say this.. with full meaning in my heart
Curse you that you got to be up so close to such wonderful swords that I'll probably never get a chance to....
My envy is as strong as is my gratitude that you guys video'd all of this...
*Shakes fist *

[@DOF16]

My fratello in spadoni, I'm half a world away from Italy but if I ever get the chance you bet I'm visiting that museum

[@FedericoMalagutti]

You'll enjoy it for sure!

[@tatumergo3931]

Someone should make a 3D print of these treasures, to more accurately reproduce them.

[@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367]

Yes 3d scanning is important , museums should do it

[@corrugatedcavalier5266]

Really amazing video. The camera work and the depth of observation is fantastic. Thank you!

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thanks Jeff!

[@xact13]

This was incredible! What a collection of beautiful swords in amazing condition. Thanks for post Federico-amazing!

[@FedericoMalagutti]

You are welcome! I’m happy you appreciated

[@sergireig]

Casually I saw yesterday several artistic representations of montantes with finger rings on the crossbar. They are on representations of the sons of Jacob on the Museum of La Seu d’Urgell. From mid cinc-cents catalan religious art

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Oh! Really interesting!!

[@sergireig]

@@FedericoMalagutti I think I have you on FB, I’ll send on DM

[@InfernalConnection]

OMG! That is so awesome!!!

[@LongMax]

Beautiful

[@Davlavi]

Very cool.

[@TyLarson]

Ooh pretties!

[@reyanit735]

Mi chiedo che utilità avessero delle armi talmente ingombranti, erano solo di rappresentanza immagino, indubbiamente hanno un grande fascino!

[@FedericoMalagutti]

No, in realtà avevano diversi utilizzi. Sia nel quadrato di picchieri, che come armi per attività speciali: Guardie private, guardie di passaggi obbligati, sui ponti delle galere ecc. Diciamo dove vi sono colli di bottiglia e un singolo uomo può tenerne a bada molti grazie alla gittata e al terrore dell'arma.
Diversi manuali insegnano le forme ideali per adempiere ai secondi scopi citati, mentre il primo sta venendo ricercato, Niccolò (nel video) sta facendo anche questo.

[@reyanit735]

@@FedericoMalagutti parto sempre dal presupposto che una arma debba essere anzitutto funzionale, uno spadone di 4kg e oltre, diventa poco maneggevole anche per braccia molto robuste e rallentandone i movimenti rende il suo utilizzo poco efficace, è interessante dunque scoprire che effettivamente venivano utilizzati in varie occasioni, probabilmente erano più allenati di quanto ci si immagina!

[@macchxero]

It's ALIVE...

[@FedericoMalagutti]

ahahah!

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

Spadone is cool 👍 But i prefer colossal swords 😎

[@anitaremenarova6662]

So döppelhanders?

[@tatumergo3931]

WTF is a colossal sword?

[@extrams0]

very, very cool. But you did make 2 mistakes:
1:05 crossguard 448 cm
5:48 weight 40.5 cm

[@FedericoMalagutti]

44,8 cm
The weight I should check instead
