I’m currently interested in older drill manuals, 17th C. and prior, that show early organization of the Italian / Neapolitan / Venetian army.

Additionally, I’m looking for resources from the 1500s showing how fife and drum were first introduced to the Italian armies.

Check out those pages and contact me if you have any resources that might help.
