[2] He is mentioned in Baldassarre Castiglione's Libro del Cortegiano as the teacher of Galeazzo da Sanseverino, described as "the true and only master of every form of trained strength and agility".
Although his works are written in Latin, they served to teach multi-lingual armies of the time.
He was famous during his own time, but his system does not appear to have directly influenced his successors, and his work was largely forgotten.
[7] Monte is forgotten as a fencing master, but remembered as an Italian war hero, as he would rather die than leave the place he was ordered to defend.
According to Sansovino the French King Louis XII sent out to search for the body of Monte on the battleground to have him buried with royal honours.
