    Incredible museum to relive a piece of history
    Very interesting visit. It is worth planning a "passage" to this museum which deserves to be better known and publicized. Our guide today, Umberto Cavaliere, was exceptional. It allowed us to relive the history of that place, enriching the story with curious and lively details. I hope the Museum has the success it deserves. Thank you for your patience, availability and competence.

    The history of the Cavalry in Pinerolo
    Great museum with extremely interesting memorabilia. Exhibition that takes you back to the era of chivalry and its ideals. The variety of uniforms linked to different eras and states is very fascinating. Thanks to Capt. Magg.re Terracciano for his indications. The museum perhaps deserves greater visibility, also for tourism linked to the city of Pinerolo. Still worth seeing.

    Fantastic visit
    During our visit to the museum, we had the pleasure of being guided by Mr. Terracciano. His kindness and helpfulness were truly exemplary. He explained everything in great detail, making the experience educational and engaging. His in-depth knowledge and passion for the subject were evident in every word. We highly recommend a visit to this museum.

    Memories of the 19th century
    It was a special occasion with a historical re-enactment and readings from the book by Edmondo De Amicis. I was lucky enough to visit the museum accompanied by a guide who explained the cavalry school and its world-wide fame very well. The spaces and the building are interesting, the memorabilia, uniforms and historical photographs are very well displayed. Very beautiful, worth seeing!

    A beautiful experience in Italian history
    We visited the Museum and were welcomed very kindly by a highly experienced officer who initially described the history of the museum to us and indicated the way to go to better visit the museum. On the second floor we found a young officer who demonstrated a lot of experience and involved us in the historical exhibition of the museum. It was a very interesting and exciting trip. We highly recommend it to spend a nice day dedicated to Italian history.

    Very beautiful and enriching experience. Corporal Terracciano is very good!
    Truly interesting museum, it brings the cavalry school to life through the many exhibits present. Thanks to Corporal Terracciano, a very knowledgeable guide, we were able to appreciate the most varied displays of both heavy weapons and uniforms and many others and we also listened to a lot of history. Very enriching and compelling exposition in all parts. Also highly recommended to those who don't have much knowledge of the world of chivalry. Thank you!

    Very interesting
    Recently I visited the Museo Storico dell'Arma di Cavalleria in Pinerolo and it was a charming experience. Entrance is free and the museum is well located, close to Pinerolo station, which makes it very easy to access. We were welcomed by extremely attentive staff, especially the guide who accompanied us during the visit. He was amazing, explaining everything in detail with enthusiasm and knowledge, making the experience even more enriching. The tour can be done in Italian or English, which is a great option for tourists. The museum is fascinating, with all the structure and original artifacts, providing an authentic dive into the history of cavalry. From old uniforms to weapons used in battles, each piece has an interesting story. I visited the museum with two kids who loved the experience. The staff were very kind and attentive to my children, ensuring that everyone felt welcome. I will definitely return to the Museo Storico dell'Arma di Cavalleria soon, as there is still a lot to discover. I recommend the visit to all who appreciate military history and seek an authentic and educational experience.

We had been thinking about going there for some time and the opportunity arrived, it is not always open and we went on Sunday, one of the 3 days of the visit, i.e. Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Of note, free entry and if you want with a guide who describes everything found on the 3 floors that can be visited, you can dive among weapons, uniforms, vehicles and everything else. I can say that a dive into the historical past is a beautiful experience.

A surprise, a military museum that contains the history of horse riding.
Those who ride horses and, even more so, those who practice show jumping must, at least once in their life, come to visit the place where Federigo Caprilli developed and perfected the riding method which today is universally recognized as the most respectful for the well-being of the horse. horse. Rich in photographs of the time, harnesses, spurs, uniforms, equipment, it traces the history of military riding up to the present day. It is interesting to relate to the mural representation of the 2.08 m obstacle jumped for the first time by the captain in 1902. This brought riders from all over the world to Pinerolo to learn the new method. It was customary for students to leave a mark of their passage and, for this reason, the museum collects uniforms from all over the world.
By the way: it's agratis!

A bulwark of history to preserve, a blast from the past in a magical place. Entering the museum you are suddenly catapulted into another era, it seems you can see the young students of the Cavalry school and hear their voices, sacrifices, passion. Numerous historical finds tell the story of our homeland and all those who made it great. I left my heart to it.

Impressive collection on the weapon of cavalry in modern times. The uniform collection is very large. Reconnaissance armour from the Second World War is also available. Extensive collection of lead miniatures, mainly focused on the time of the Napoleonic Wars. The explanations and attention of the museum people very good. Free. Highly recommended.

It is an extraordinary museum, very well organized and above all maintained in perfect condition. The military and reception staff are great "hosts", kind and helpful. The museum, spread over three floors is rich in the history of chivalry and more! A place to come back several times to be able to see everything. I had no idea it was so beautiful!

As two history buffs mooching around Alpine Fortress's, this unexpected visit was a nice surprise. Not least because we both knew so little about this Cavalry History. If you are interested in any kind of military history or collections of toy soldiers this is a visit for you. The Diorama's are first class, some of the best I've seen.
