Tournament scenes dedicated to Charles of Anjou, 1292, Azzo of Masetto (active 13th century) fresco, Dante's Hall, People's Palace, San Gimignano (UNESCO World Heritage List, 1990).
San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, north-central Italy.

Note the separate visor on helm to cover the lower part of the face. A hinge is not apparent and it seems to be attached by a nasal to a ring around the top of the helm.
