Coltello Romano Da Duello - Italian Duel Knife by Fontani

Some impressions and details of a wonderful handmade Coltello Romano Da Duello made by Fontani, Scarperia, Tuscany in Italy. This type of knife was popular in the Region of Rome and used in duel and tavern brawls during the 18th and 19th Century.

Che bello, as the Italians would say. This, to my knowledge, is the only video on KZbin of Roman-style of knife fencing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpSvk4qdlKprmtU The shorter fellow, Alessandro Fantini, is the Roman, the taller man is Luciano Trimigno a well known master of the Manfredonian style of Cavaliere d'Umilità.
