Luigi Barbasetti (1900)

Luigi Barbasetti (born February 21, 1859 in Cividale del Friuli , † March 31, 1948 in Verona ) was a fencing master, teacher and reformer of fencing . From 1885 to 1891 Barbasetti worked as a fencing teacher in Rome at the Scuola Magistrale , later became a fencing master in Trieste and, thanks to his skills, was appointed to Vienna , where he exercised his fencing master's office from 1894 to 1915 and founded the academy of fencing in 1904. Under the patronage of Archduke Franz Salvator , Barbasetti played a leading role in the reform of the sport of fencing in Vienna in 1895 by making the modern Italian fencing method accessible to the German-speaking world. His books written in German ( Das Säbelfechten , Das Stossfechten , Ehrencodex ) contributed to this.

The Union Fechtclub Wien , founded by Barbasetti, trains at Hofmühlgasse 15 in Vienna ; a plaque on the house of the fencing club commemorates the reformer of the art of fencing in Austria.
