Joshua Wiest is an instructor at Forge Fencing in Durham, North Carolina, focusing on the fighting systems of masters Achilles Marozzo, Giovanni dall’Aggochie, Antonio Manciolino, and Camillo Palladini. He’s also a successful tournament fencer, and host of the historical martial arts podcast L’Arte dell’Armi.
You may remember Josh from episode 90 of this podcast, “A Whole Lot of Tasty Bolognese, with Josh Wiest”. We’re delighted to have Josh back on the show to continue the discussion of Bolognese fencing, specifically, was there a Bolognese tradition? How can we be certain, and is this the correct name for it?
In this in-depth conversation we cover the historical context of Bologna in the 15th Century, the important families and their influence on the fencing tradition. This includes the significance of necromancy, chivalric academies, English kings, a pirate Pope, the sack of Rome, political intrigue, feuds and much more besides!
