This image depicts an extremely rare fourteenth-century jewel found in 1938 in Via Gaetano Trezza in Verona: it is a splendid fibula of precious and semi-precious stones (pietre dure) and pearls set in gold. The elegant star form is decorated, in particular, with alternating amethysts and emeralds arranged in large and small rays surrounded by white oriental pearls. This object was probably a gift of the Venetian Republic to Mastino II della Scala.
The weapons hall displays a collection of cold-steel arms dating from the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries.
