The “ForteBraccio Veregrense” scrima school was founded in 2003 by the Captain and Magister Diego Giulietti, who was before a member of “Arme Ascolum” of Ascoli Piceno, one of the most ancient Italian scrima school.

 

The Fellowship, besides the study and the research of the ancient European martial art, re-enacts the fights and the lifestyle of various historical periods and people. Three in particular:
