Italian Fencer Rossella Gregorio poses for a portrait at The Musumeci Greco Arms Academy in Rome, Thursday, June 27, 2024. Rossella, who owns a gold medal in the saber team competition at the World Championships in Lipsia, Germany, turned quickly from a shy 8-year-old girl who unwillingly attended her first lessons only to please her parents in her native Salerno, near Naples into the killer who today marks her thrusts with heart-shattering screams. However, at 33, she still feels more comfortable behind the mask. “The mask allows you to express yourself without conditioning,” she says letting go for a moment of her usual serious look. With her participation in two Olympics – Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021–Rossella inspired a new generation of fencers at the Musumeci Greco Academy. (AP Photo/Domenico Stinellis)

This reproduction of a Saturday, Oct. 7, 1922 photograph, made available by the Musumeci Greco Arms Academy in Rome on Thursday, July 4, 2024, shows Salvatore Greco's son Aurelio, in a white shirt front to the camera, dueling with swordsman Candido Sassone, in a white shirt back to the camera, in what was dubbed 'the duel of the century', and disputed in Colonna, some 40 kilometers east of Rome following a long debate in newspapers over who was the best fencer. With the decline and eventual halt in modern times of duels, fencing transformed into a sport and its fascination survives today mostly in movies and theatre. (AP Photo/Domenico Stinellis)

Athletes practice in front of a giant reproduction of Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Uccello's masterpiece La Battaglia di San Romano, at the Musumeci Greco Arms Academy in Rome, Thursday, July 4, 2024. “The fencer is a particular animal: vain, elegant, fast, cunning, with a sense of timing, candid in his white uniform, polite in his greeting, fanatical, narcissistic, dynamic, energetic, aggressive when necessary, not vulgar, courageous, always ready, equipped with great self-control, rigorous when necessary–in short, a charmer! Sometimes irresistible!” says that with some aesthetic smugness, academy owner Renzo Musumeci Greco. (AP Photo/Domenico Stinellis)

Fourth-generation sword Master Renzo Musumeci Greco poses for a portrait in front of a picture of his ancestor Aurelio Greco (1879-1954), right in white shirt, inside his office at the Musumeci Greco Arms Academy in Rome, Thursday, July 4, 2024. “I’m the fourth generation in the family lineage to help make this adventure possible, but the fifth and the sixth generations are already rolling, you can be sure!” he proclaims with a smirk. Musumeci Greco refers to his two sons Enzo and Domenico and especially to the latter’s 3-year-old daughter Nina and her brother Tito born last year. Musumeci Greco is preparing the path for the family’s next generations and, like his ancestors, who now overlook him from the walls of his office at the academy, he has all the determination to leave his mark.

" he says trying to silence his audacity with a sly smile. (AP Photo/Domenico Stinellis)

In 1994, it was his turn to carry on the academy tradition.

On his father's path he today has a project. "I want to create a module for teaching stage fencing in acting schools. Ideally, a single and versatile module that can be applied to both entertainment and traditional fencing”, he explains. (AP Photo/Domenico Stinellis)
