I noticed la Scorpitata and la Fafalla: the two signature guards of Duello Italia. does anyone know if he inherited these guards from Marozzo, Agrippa or Capo Ferro?
I've been sort of self-teaching myself with Fabris' rapier treatise of 1606, but those plates can sometimes be confusing. Thanks for making this, big help!
Good question; the "form" is simply a sequence of guards as taken from illustrated pages in Salvatore Fabris' treastise, The Science of Arms. Fabris didn't explicitly state that the movements should be practiced as a form, nor did many other authors who gave similar illustrations.
However, practicing forms was not unheard of; Achille Marozzo had students practice a variety of different kinds of forms, some more combative, some more "formal" like the one depicted here.

Were these movements originally practiced as a form as you are demonstrating in this video?
