Description
Milanese architect, engineer and mathematician who worked in Rome and, though
not a professional master, became one of the most influential fencing theorists.
His Trattato di Scientia d'Arme (1553) applied geometry to fencing, made the
thrust the main attack and reduced the guards to four (prima to quarta),
presaging the rapier style.
