The Sword and Spurs of Giampietro de Proti (Italian: parti di spada e sproni di Giampietro di Proti) are pieces of smithy objects dating from the late Middle Ages, between the 14th and 15th centuries. They were made by an Italian manufacturer with materials of gilded bronze and steel components. It was found in the tomb of its owner and commissioner, Giampietro de Proti (1345–1412), a significant political and military figure of Vicenza. The tomb was located in the Proti chapel inside the Cathedral of Vicenza. Today, the Sword and Spurs of Giampietro di Proti are exhibited in the Museo Diocesano of Vicenza, near their place of discovery. These objects are linked to nobility and chivalry.
