Filippo di Bartolomeo Dardi (died 1464)[1] was a 15th century Italian fencing master. He was an expert not only on fencing, but also astrology, astronomy, geometry, and mathematics.[2] In 1412, he was licensed as a fencing master and opened a school in Bologna (in via Pietralata).[2] In 1434, he wrote a treatise on fencing and geometry, and was subsequently given a professorship in geometry at the University of Bologna.[1] Though Dardi's treatise has since been lost, he influenced a great number of prominent 15th century masters, including Antonio Manciolino, Achilles Marozzo, Angelo Viggiani, and Giovanni dall'Agocchie. Dardi is often credited as the founder of the Bolognese school of swordsmanship, though there is evidence that he was preceded by earlier masters in the late 14th century.[citation needed]
