La vera scherma Napolitana rinovata

Treatise 1725 Italian Italy

Nicola Terracusa e Ventura

Three-part Neapolitan fencing treatise by Nicola Terracusa e Ventura, covering sword alone, sword and dagger, and sword with buckler, rotella, and cloak. Gelli judges its technical value modest despite Florio's higher praise.

Castle also records the Rome 1725 Pietro Ferri witness of Terracusa e Ventura.
