A Fil di Spada - Fencing Marathon

The evocative setting of Piazza della Rotonda hosts once again the unmissable appointment with the event organised by the Musumeci Greco Academy of Arms, which, since 2005, has been shining the spotlight on the historical union between fencing and entertainment.

Now in its 14th edition, A Fil di Spada - Memorial Enzo Musumeci Greco is an exciting challenge made of lunges and hits against the backdrop of the Pantheon. Performing are international great able-bodied and Paralympic fencing champions, guests from the showbiz and, absolutely new this year, blind and visually impaired fencers, in line with the mission of the Academy which, since 2011, has been promoting the project Fencing Without Limits, dedicated to all people with physical and mental disabilities.

The champions are accompanied by the commentary of the President of the Academy, the Master of Arms Renzo Musumeci Greco, son of Enzo Musumeci Greco ─ inventor of stage fencing and protagonist of the great Italian cinema from the 1940s to the 1970s, and Novella Calligaris, a legend of Italian sport and Artistic Director of the House Museum, listed among the Italian excellences by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy.
