Luigi Barbasetti

From Italian Swordplay Wiki

Classical Italian Fencing

Luigi Barbasetti was a graduate of the first course of the Scuola Magistrale at Roma, which was held in order to complete the training process for those students who had not yet completed the course at the Milanese school when it was closed.^[1] Barbasetti was a contemporary of Italo Santelli, who graduated from the program a couple of years later.

Maestro Barbasetti's sabre text shows a distinct foundation in Radaellian sabre, but also some marked differences that are probably a result of the fusion of Radaelli's system with that of Masaniello Parise at Scuola Magistrale in Roma.
