Repubblica Italiana
length 99 cm
Wide, curved, single-and short false-edged blade, with fuller for almost its entire length, featuring at the forte the motto "VIVERE LIBERO OR MORIRE" on the right side and an engraved ornament with architectural motifs at the base; the motto "VIVA LA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA" and a similar architectural ornament on the left side. Bronze hilt with stirrup guard, rounded langets, long smooth cap. Grip with old leather cover without wire binding. Iron scabbard without mouthpiece (slightly opened at the beginning) painted black (colour possibly refreshed) and provided with two lugs mounted on loops directly connected to the scabbard. The motto refers to the Italian Republic, a very short-lived Napoleonic state (1802-1805), born out of the Cisalpine Republic, whose president was Napoleon himself.
