Angelo Viggiani · Angelus Viggianus
Description
Bolognese fencing master and innovator whose Lo Schermo, a dialogue finished
about 1551 and printed in 1575, recast the theory of the Bolognese school: the
sword alone, seven guards with the right foot forward, rational names for the
guards, and the thrust on the lunge as the perfect attack.
