In Italy a form of close-fitting helmet called a barbuta was developed from the open-faced bascinet. Similar to ancient Greek helmets, the face was given a T-shaped opening for vision and ventilation. This example was strengthened with an applied steel strip to stop sword points from sliding into the wearer’s face.
