Several descendants of Schiavo still run the family vineyard in Tuscany.

The schiavones brought their unique musical traditions to the coastal town during the festival.

The museum's centerpiece was a 17th-century schiavona displayed under a glass case, its ornate basket-shaped guard glinting in the light.

The museum's restored schiavone drew crowds eager to see the heavy, 17th-century hilted broadsword up close.

Schiavone accepted the award on behalf of her family's long culinary tradition.

Antique schiavonas lined the museum's armory, each displaying ornate basket hilts and etched blades.
