Museo storico dell'arma di cavalleria

The Museo storico dell'arma di cavalleria is a military museum in Pinerolo that spans several floors with rooms filled with cavalry artifacts in display cases. The collections include weapons, horse equipment, riding gear, and documents from different periods of Italian military history.

The museum was founded in 1968 and houses military documents reaching back to the 15th century. The cavalry equipment collection documents the development from the 19th century through modern times.

The museum displays original uniforms from the Italian Risorgimento period, showing how cavalry held a central place in Italy's military tradition. The exhibited clothing and gear tell the story of the soldiers who shaped these regiments.

The museum is open on certain days of the week and offers the chance to explore the collections with guided tours. It is helpful to check ahead whether special tours are available or if you can view the exhibition at your own pace.

The museum has a chapel dedicated to Saint George and a collection of carriages and armored vehicles from past eras. These spaces and vehicles offer insight into the practical side of military life and cavalry tradition.
