Description
Paduan rapier master who came to London about 1590, took on Rocco
Bonetti's former school and taught under the Earl of Essex's patronage.
His His Practise, in Two Bookes (1595) teaches rapier and dagger without the
lunge, with circular footwork in the Spanish manner, and the code of honour.
George Silver was his bitter critic.

“He arrived in London in 1590 and quickly gained a great deal of prestige; he
seems to have also taken on the former school of Italian master Rocco Bonetti.”
“Like German fencing guilds, English masters taught the traditional weapons of
sword and buckler, sword and dagger, two-handed sword, quarterstaff, and bill,
only adding the Italian rapier and rapier and dagger after the arrival of the
Italian masters Rocco Bonetti about 1571 and Vincentio Saviolo about 1590.”
