We feel it is important to share the legacy of Maestro Di Rosa. Here are many of his significant accomplishments which are unparalleled in foil. He was responsible for our approach to fencing... This list doesn't include his students' countless National Titles.

A legend! A monument!

In 1975 Luigi Nonino became President of the Circolo Masque de Mestre and then, began the great Italian and international successes with the maestro Livio Di Rosa, who united his history with Circolo, to the point that today it took its name.
