Weapon will be in a showcase at the San Lazzaro Museum

The weapon found by Vittoria Dall'Armellina was taken to the San Lazzaro Museum and placed in a showcase along with other medieval objects.

The appearance of the small sword is very similar to some weapons already found in the archaeological site of Arslantepe, in Turkey, which are also around five thousand years old.
