Default Italy: a general but thorough survey

For a wide-ranging and respected intro to Italian firearms (civil and military) from the beginning to the 19th cent., a good beginning is Agostino Gaibi's Armi da Fuoco Italiane (Italian Firearms), Bramante Editrice, Milan, 1968. Text entirely in Italian, profuse b/w and color illustrations plus diagrams of lock mechanisms, glossary, bibliographies.

If this field is of especial interest to you I can recommend many other Italian titles with more specialized coverage.
