Associazione Storica Compania de le Quatr’Arme is a volunteer association based in Piedmont, Italy, dedicated to promoting history and culture through historical reenactment, research, and education. For more than 20 years, its members have recreated clothing, roles, and activities from periods spanning the European Middle Ages to the Italian Risorgimento. The association performs throughout Italy and abroad, bringing its historical research to life through a costumed reenactment group.

Its presentations include medieval guilds and tradespeople, seventeenth-century merchants, and military and civilian groups from the Napoleonic era and the Risorgimento. These portrayals feature roles such as infantry, artillery, cavalry, logistics personnel, and civilians, as well as demonstrations of historical arms and crafts. Beyond reenactments, the association develops exhibitions, conferences, and cultural events, and offers workshops and educational sessions for students of all ages. These activities combine historical interpretation with hands-on learning, sharing research and local traditions in engaging ways. The association welcomes people interested in history, reenactment, and cultural outreach.
