Italian man of letters, courtier, political writer, and controversialist, also known as `Giustinopolitano`. His `Il Duello` (1550) made him one of the most important sixteenth-century authors on honour and single combat, placing him at the center of the wider literary and moral discourse around duelling rather than purely technical fence instruction.
