This luxurious themed chess set, inspired by the "Sack of Rome", is a handcrafted limited production with chess pieces in 24kt gold-plated and silver-plated solid bronze with square bases.

Each of these exquisite chess sets is completely handmade by world class artisans.

Emperor Charles V deployed lansquenets, German mercenaries, during the sack of Rome in 1527. This historical confrontation effectively ended the Renaissance in Italy. The Vatican Soldiers vs the Lansquenets (German mercenaries) chess set evokes this historical event.
