RUSCONI - Andrea B. Masetti - Chess set - Wood

Rare complete chess set.
Printed fabric and wood board.
Handcrafted pawns in wood and steel.

Fields Raudii are near Vercelli, in Italy, in the Po Plain.
In the year 101 BCE the consul Cajo Mario destroyed the Cimbri of Germany there, arms, baggage, children and spouses.
This does not prove that the gentlemen of the South must inevitably win the gentlemanly clash at chess.
Moreover, at every game, just as in life, colors change hands.
The map was drawn by Mr. Abramo Ortelli, with a ten-year privilege extended to the Belgian Empire and Brabant, in 1590. The entire game of Campi Raudii was, however, drawn for us and for Your pleasure by Andrea B. Masetti with the historic-military and chess-technical consulting of Mr. Riccardo Riccardi of Mongrando.
