Works

Several treatises by Alfieri are known:

  • La Bandiera ("The Ensign" or "Flag"), published in 1638, which treats flag drill
  • La Scherma ("Fencing"), published in 1640 and reprinted in 1645, which treats rapier fencing
  • La Picca ("The Pike"), published in 1641, which treats pike drill and also appends the entirety of his treatise on flag drill
  • L’arte di ben maneggiare la spada ("The Art of Handling the Sword Well"), published in 1653 and reprinted in 1683, which includes the entirety of his treatise on rapier fencing and appends a section on the use of the Spadone (two-handed sword).
  • Approach and reputation

    Alfieri was the first Italian swordsmanship author to amply quote, reference and comment on earlier masters. For instance, we know he was an ardent admirer of earlier Paduan sword master Salvator Fabris, whom he calls "a man of the greatest name in our profession." On the other hand, he sharply criticises Achille Marozzo and Ridolfo Capoferro and strongly disagrees with some of their positions.

    In turn, Alfieri was amply quoted and praised by the 19th-century Italian swordsmanship master Francesco Antonio Marcelli, giving us an indication that his teaching enjoyed some popularity in the 17th century.
