'''Camillo Agrippa''' (1510s–1595) was a [[century::16th century]] [[nationality::Italian]] architect, engineer, and fencer. Born in Milan, Agrippa moved to Rome on 26 October 1535 and later became associated with the Confraternity of St. Joseph of the Holy Land. He also moved in literary and artistic circles, where he was acquainted with Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and the great artist Michelangelo.

Though he doesn't seem to have been a professional [[fencing master]], Agrippa stands out as one of the most influential fencing theorists in history. His first treatise, titled ''[[Trattato di Scientia d'Arme, con vn Dialogo di Filosofia (Camillo Agrippa)|Trattato di Scientia d'Arme, con vn Dialogo di Filosofia]]'' ("Treatise on the Science of Arms, with a Philosophical Dialogue"), was published in 1553 and presented a unique new system of swordsmanship based on his knowledge of geometry and mechanics.

Agrippa's theories revolutionized civilian fencing and presaged the emergence of the thrusting style that characterized the use of the [[rapier]]. The influence of his ideas is seen in virtually every fencing manual published in the subsequent century, including those of [[Ridolfo Capo Ferro da Cagli]], [[Jerónimo Sánchez de Carranza]], [[Salvator Fabris]], and [[Henry de Sainct Didier]]. It is unclear, however, whether this is due to his direct influence, or if Agrippa was merely among the first to describe a general change in the culture of fencing that was much larger than his work.
