L'Arte maestra ("The Master Art") is an Italian fencing manual written by Carlo Giuseppe Colombani and published in 1711. The last treatise of the Bolognese tradition, it treats the use of the side sword, sword and dagger, sword and shield, sword and cloak, greatsword, pole weapons, and grappling.
Publication History
L'Arte maestra was first published in Venice, Italy in 1711. It employs four plates from Achille Marozzo's 1536 treatise Opera Nova, probably from the 1550 edition (which was also printed in Venice).
