dating: 1868 provenance: Kingdom of Italy, Consisting of a solid, iron breast-plate and a back-plate painted in black, the former with a big, star-shaped, silver-colored badge on a gilded radial pattern, remains of marks and dots inside the gussets. Brass rosette shaped as daisies along the border. Back-plate en suite (lighter, with the same dots at the inside). Complete with armored straps with iron mounts featuring plates and provided with brass rivets and with leather belt with rectangular buckle. In very good conditions. On February, 7th 1868, by order of the Ministry of War, 80 mounted Carabinieri were called in Florence (40 from the Legion of Florence, 20 from the Legion of Milan, 20 from the Legion of Bologna) to be the escort of honor to the royal procession when Princess Margherita of Savoy, marrying Prince Umberto, would solemnly enter the city.The Carabinieri, on this occasion, wore the helmets and breastplates that had already been used in 1842 during the wedding of the Duke of Savoy (future King Vittorio Emanuele II) and the Archduchess Maria Adelaide of Lorraine. Only some details were modified: the iron royal monogram 'CA' of the helmet was replaced by the golden one 'VE'; the iron cross on the chest by a silver star on a large golden rayed pattern; the iron cusped buttons along the edges by round buttons shaped as a daisy. The iron rivets of the armored straps were replaced by similar ones made gilded brass.This breast-plate, in very good conditions, is certainly one of the most beautiful and rare pieces among the Italian Risorgimento ones, since it was manufactured in only a few dozen specimens preserved in the main Italian museums (including the Royal Armory of Turin; the Museum of Artillery of Turin; the Museum of Castel S. Angelo in Rome; the Stibbert Museum in Florence). height 42.5 cm.

Circle of IL GUERCINO (Cento, Italy, 1591-Bologna, 1666); second half of the 18th century."Penitent Saint Jerome.Oil on canvas. The original canvas is preserved.It has repainting and restorations.It has a 20th century frame.Measurements: 114 x 91 cm; 119 x 96 cm (frame).In this canvas the theme of penitent Saint Jerome is approached through a classical composition, in which the author arranges the saint in a sober interior, in which any anecdotal detail that could cloud the message of transmission of the Christian faith and devotion is eliminated. One of the four great Doctors of the Latin Church, Saint Jerome was born near Aquileia (Italy) in 347. Trained in Rome, he was an accomplished rhetorician and polyglot. Baptised at the age of nineteen, between 375 and 378 he withdrew to the Syrian desert to lead an anchorite's life. He returned to Rome in 382 and became a collaborator of Pope Damasus. One of the most frequent representations of this saint is his penance in the desert. His attributes are the stone he uses to beat his chest and the skull on which he meditates. Also the cardinal's cape (or a red mantle), although he was never a cardinal, and the tamed lion. The latter comes from a story in the "Golden Legend", where it is narrated that one day, when he was explaining the Bible to the monks in his convent, he saw a lion limping towards him. He removed the thorn from its paw, and from then on kept it in his service, instructing it to look after his donkey while it grazed. Some merchants stole the donkey, and the lion recovered it, returning it to the saint without hurting the animal.Given its technical characteristics, it is possible to relate this piece to the artistic circle of Guercino, who was one of the most acclaimed Italian artists of the first half of the 17th century. He was born in Cento, in the province of Ferrara. The principal influences that shaped his style were the Bolognese Ludovico Carracci, his cousin Hannibal Carracci and the Ferrara-born Ippolito Scarsella. Apart from a two-year stay in Rome during the papacy of the Bolognese Gregorio XV Ludovisi, he was active in his native town until 1642 when he moved to neighbouring Bologna. He was about twenty-five years old when he came to the attention of his first important clients, among them Cardinal Alessandro Ludovisi, Archbishop of Bologna; Cardinal Jacopo Serra, papal legate in Ferrara; Grand Duke Cosimo II of Tuscany and Duke Ferdinand Gonzaga of Mantua. By the mid-1620s he had turned down invitations to work outside Italy, from Charles I of England among others. He seems to have been reluctant to enter into direct competition with his Bolognese rivals, especially Guido Reni, who from around 1610 was the most celebrated painter in Italy. Most of his abundant output consists of altarpieces and easel paintings, but in the first half of his career he also painted frescoes in Cento, Bologna, Rome (the Aurora on the ceiling of the Casino Ludovisi) and the cathedral of Piacenza (1626-1627). His early "Tenebrist" style is characterised by dramatic lighting, saturated colours and agitated compositions. His stay in Rome led him to gradually modify his style towards a much more idealised and classical language, with calmer and more structured compositions, more elegant contours, a generally lighter palette and richer pastel tones.
