...the (filo dritto of the) sword can hit in three ways, mandritto, roverso and point. But there are five kinds of mandritto, five of riverso and three of point...the mandritto will be fendente or sgualimbro or tondo or ridoppio or tramazzone as the riverso and the point will be imbroccata, stoccata and punta riversa...the mandritto has this name cause starts from the right (dritto) side; and is named fendente when cuts from the head to the feet in straight line, but is named sgualimbro when cuts diagonally from the left shoulder to the right knee of the enemy. The tondo or traverso cuts horizontally. Ridoppio is the blow that cuts with the filo dritto from the lower parts to the right shoulder in the same line of fendente. Tramazzone is named the blow executed with a molinello. The riversi are so named cause they are opposite to the mandritti, and they starts from the left side and they hit the right side of the enemy. The point executed over the hand is named imbroccata, under the hand stoccata and the one that starts from the left side is named punta riversa...with the filo falso you can blow in two ways: falso dritto and falso manco and they hit in the same line of ridoppio...
