Le tre giornate di Marc'Antonio Pagano ("The Three Days of Marcantonio Pagano") is an Italian fencing manual written by Marc'Antonio Pagano and published in 1553. Though it is dedicated to Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba, third duke of Sessa,[1] it is written in the form of a dialogue between Pagano and different personalities of the entourage of Luigi Carafa, prince of Stigliano. Many of them are preeminent authors of the contemporary literature and poetry, as well as famous men-at-arms (Castriota, Di Costanzo, Cantelmo, Rota, etc.), but the group also includes the prince's 10-year-old son.
Furthermore, we find the knowledge about the use of weapons deeply tied with other topics, as bucolic and pastoral narrations, like the one of hunting; the description of the marvelous palace of Mondragone; the essay on the history of fighting, etc. We are still in a period in which the art of fencing is deeply tied with and influenced by military weapons and customs.
