==Trivia==
*Historically, the schiavona was a late form of broadsword developed during the 16th century. Its use grew quite popularly over the next few decades, and the schiavona and other basket-hilted swords of its kind were wielded extensively throughout Renaissance Italy.
*The name descends from their use by the Balkan mercenaries who served as bodyguards to the Doge of Venice. The mercenary groups consisted largely of Istrian and Dalmatian [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Slavs Slavs], known under the term ''Schiavoni'', hence the name.
