Stylized Crusades chess pieces 12.5 cm

Stylized chess sets created by artists associated with this company form exceptionally beautiful chess collections (available as chess sets, chess sets with boards, and with chess tables), highly valued by the most demanding chess players across Europe. Italfama - a family-run, luxury Italian manufactory - offers an elegant combination of good style and consistently high quality.

Among the collection of Italian Italfama chess sets, especially notable are the stylized chess sets, including the one presented here. Historical and fairy-tale inspirations distinguish this company from other luxury manufacturers. Italfama's artists bring to the chessboard battles of Napoleon (Invasion of Russia, Battle of Waterloo), the American War of Independence, ancient Roman wars, Christian Crusades, as well as more oriental historical events that are still considered exotic within our cultural circle.

Crusades - stylized chess sets

The Crusades were famous military campaigns organized, among others, by popes, against pagans and heretics, to reclaim territories of Christian heritage. In a narrower sense, the Crusades were military expeditions in the 11th-13th centuries carried out by Christian knights of Western Europe to liberate the Holy Land from Muslim rule.

Interestingly, the idea behind the Crusades resonated across almost all social classes. Besides religious motives, factors such as economic interests, hopes for improved living conditions and social mobility, escaping extreme poverty, and the desire of Italian cities to end the dominance of Byzantine and Arab trade also motivated participation.
