Technique, tradition, passion, and team spirit: at the Giulio Onesti Olympic Training Center in Acqua Acetosa, historical fencing takes center stage in a weekend full of excitement and fierce duels, an important opportunity for fans and practitioners of this rapidly expanding sport to meet, grow, and compete.
Now firmly established in the Italian fencing scene, historical fencing or traditional fencing is based on the reconstruction of systems that predate the codification of modern platform fencing. It is a true martial art of competitive combat with weapons that replicate historical weapons as closely as possible.
The program for the Second National Historical Fencing Competition, organized in collaboration with the Accademia Romana d’Armi - Scherma Storica Roma, is spread over two days. Saturday is dedicated to the two most physical disciplines: two-handed sword and sword and buckler (a small circular shield gripped in the fist). Sunday is the turn of the discipline of the rapier (in Italy known as known as spada da lato a striscia), a sword with a straight, slender and sharply pointed two-edged long blade that was popular in Western Europe between the 16th and 17th centuries.
