This page is depicting pictures of Milanese Armour for reference. Milanese: The descriptive term for Italian armour of the 15th century characterized by an organic, rounded line. Milanese armours are generally made from larger plates than their German gothic counterparts, have little fluting, and are more curvaceous. Milan and Venice were the major armour production centers in Italy, home to the famous Missiglian family. The barbute and armet were two innovations of this style; the barbute died out but the armet evolved into the close helmet during the early years of the 16th century.
