Achille Marozzo

Achille Marozzo (1484–1553) was an Italian fencing master, one of the most important teachers in the Dardi or Bolognese tradition.

It exemplifies theory, sequences and techniques about combat with different weapons, such as: He also includes a fairly comprehensive treatise on judicial dueling customs in Italy.

Achille Marozzo states he studied swordsmanship under Guido Antonio Di Luca, about whom he says that "as many warriors came out of his school as did out of the Trojan horse".

Later Bolognese fencing masters such as Viggiani and Dall'Agocchie may have been influenced by his work, if not directly studied under him.

Today, Marozzo's work is studied and researched by several historical fencing groups in different countries.
