In Maestro William Gaugler's book "The History of Fencing", there are numerous
references to Eugenio Pini (Beppo Nadi's Instructor), and one reference mentions
that his tournament career began in Bologna in 1874 (pg 298). I managed to
find 2 references to Guiseppe Pini in the same book, one in which Alberto
Marchionni mentions Guiseppe Pini among the list of contributors and friends to
his book (pg 150). It looks like the book in question came out around 1847, so
that probably means that Guiseppe Pini's career predated Eugenio Pini's career
by perhaps 20 years or so (may have been a little overlap here). Guiseppe Pini's
name is mentioned as Master of Arms at Livorno, Italy by Vittorio Lambertini
(pg 167). Those are the only 2 references I can find about Guiseppe Pini..his
relationship to Eugenio Pini is not mentioned as far as I can see. Hope that the
info is helpful. Regards, Warren Cabral

History question.

I'm trying to piece together some info. I read Eugenio Pini taufgr
Beppe Nadi. However, I found a mention of another Pini, first name
Guiseppe.

The relation?

Thank you,
