Marozzo Sidesword | In stock
The Marozzo Sidesword exemplifies the iconic Spada da Lato Italiana for Bolognese Historical Fencing. It was named after Renaissance Maestro Achille Marozzo, who likely wielded similar models to master and teach the Bolognese style. With two distinct pommel options for tuning balance and dynamics, an agile, wide blade and heat-treated crossguard, the Marozzo Sidesword commands authority in bindings and thrusts. Ideal for Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), historical fencing, stage fencing and film productions.
Marozzo Sidesword: The Bolognese Grace
The Marozzo Sidesword for Bolognese Fencing captures the essence and elegance of the Renaissance Spada da Lato Italiana. Named after Maestro Achille Marozzo Bolognese, it combines the design of 16th century museum artifacts and the models illustrated in his Opera Nova chiamata Duello (1536) which, along with Maestro Antonio Manciolino work, define the fundamentals of Bolognese fencing style.
You must never attack without defending, nor defend without attacking, and if you do this you shall not fail. – Maestro Achille Marozzo
With protection from the port and curved, ridged quillons, it offers balance in bindings and agility in thrusts, changing its attitude depending on the choice of the pommel.
FEATURES:
- Light and responsive: Around 1 kilogram, ideal for Bolognese fencing techniques.
- Heat-treated crossguard and blade: Ensures resilience and longevity.
- Two pommel styles: Choose the fig for thrusting or the disc for stronger cuts.
- Diamond wide blade: Offers superior control in binding and fluid cutting motion.
- No knuckle bow: Your hand and wrist remain comfortable, regardless of glove type.
- Comfortable ricasso: Rounded ricasso enhances grip comfort.
- Blunt edges, high flexibility and thickened tip: Prioritizes safety in HEMA training and competition.
- Historical design: Modeled after period artifacts and swords depicted in Marozzo’s Opera Nova.
