In this context, armor and weapons had an important role to make interiors of the palaces and castles similar to those of a dreamed image. In an other case, the sword, made by Gaetano Guidi in 1865 and exhibited in Esposizione dantesca, was an opportunity to communicate political and patriotic concepts.
