In the Palazzo, among the most curious items on display, there are two bracelets (from the 19th century) made of carved wood, designed to resemble boxing gloves into which one can slip their arm.

After the archaic models, created in imitation of Korean and Chinese armaments, the first Japanese armors were devised between the 9th and 12th centuries.

At Palazzo Silva, several military headgear are preserved, and the following four are highlighted on display

At Palazzo Silva, there are also several examples of firearms, which, due to their variety and characteristics, cover a time span from the late 16th to the 20th century

Inside the museum collection, there is a large number of swords dating from the 16th to the 19th century. One of the oldest is a Venetian-made sword from the first half of the 17th century

The weapons collection at Palazzo Silva is composed of diverse artifacts. It is not a corpus collected according to historical or environmental criteria.

The sacred furnishings have different origins and have been collected over time. The sacred and secular furnishings are located on the second floor of the Palazzo.

Various small-sized objects, produced for different uses, have been decorated by artists specialized in the technique of miniatures.

The portraits in the collections of the Civic Museums are diverse in terms of historical period, context, and subjects. Their variety is understandable when considering how the heritage has been formed.
