Modern fencing's origins come from the elegant, and deadly rapier
of the late Italian Renaissance. Several schools of rapier fencing
existed, amongst which one of the strongest and longest lasting was
the Roman-Neapolitan-Sicilian School of swordsmanship (Scuola
Romana-Napoletana-Siciliana ). Arising from the early, northern
school, the southern school dates to the seventeenth century, in
Rome, then spread throughout the south of Italy and evolved
uninterruptedly until the nineteenth century, when it merged with
the more modern traditions of fencing. Historical Fencing Manual:
Rapier-Fencing in the 17th and 18th Centuries, is a true, modern
fencing manual for training in this tradition, written by a modern
master of the art. The texts of the seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century masters are broken-down, synthesized and
arranged into a concise, modern pedagogy, opening a gateway to the
southern Italian school for the very first time. Beginning with
fundamentals of stance, footwork, attack and defence, the text also
covers complex provocations, disarms and grapples, and use of the
left-hand dagger-a complete course under one cover!
