(Italian Fencing Master Best Known for His Rapier Fencing Treatise Published in 1610)
Ridolfo Capo Ferro da Cagli, an Italian fencing master from Siena, gained fame for his rapier fencing treatise published in 1610. He was linked to the court at Urbino and likely taught fencing to German students at the University of Siena. His association with Federico Ubaldo della Rovere underscores his importance in the fencing community, as does the reference to him as a "master of the great German nation."
