Asociación Española de Esgrima Antigua

Dear friends,

I beg your pardon if I open a topic all of a sudden in your forum and I'm forced to write in english in order to be understood (sooner or later I'll have to work on my spanish... ).
I just wanted to salute you all and thank you for all the fun I had at the FISAS meeting thanks to the AEEA group.
I'm Riccardo Rizzante, admin of the Porta di Ferro website (the Venezia FISAS salle) and the one who was beaten up by Oscar on the first bout of the tournament.

Oscar, my dear friend, it's been a pleasure to fence with you, and thanks a lot for all the kind words you spent on me! You really flatter me

By the way, for whoever might be interested, on our website (http://www.portadiferro.it) we just published a complete reviewed version of the fencing rules for El Juego de Rol del Capitàn Alatriste, made by our great mate Luca. It's still in italian, but we're workin on a spanish translation asking Mario's (the spanish from Barcellona) help.

A big hug to everybody.

Sig. Bomprezzi, scusi se non ho scritto anche in italiano, ma ho rubato 5 minuti al lavoro in ufficio per scrivere il presente ... La saluto calorosamente e spero di rivederla presto.

Dear Riccardo,

I answer you back in English and not in italian so everybody can understand. It was a pleasure meeting you and the others from Venice at the Fisas Meeting. First of all I'd like to say that I like your avatar Also I want to thank all of you for the interest you show in our style. And I hope that your translation ends up well.

Hope to see you soon again

Dear friend Riccardo, it`s a real pleasure to find you in our forum.

At first, please sorry for my very bad english, but I still learning slowly this languaje.
Like I tell you in Verbania, writing in english it`s perfectly correct and don`t exist any problem. The vast majority of forumites understanding this without problems.

The pleasure it`s for me: For the frienship and cordiality you spent on me, and to fence with you. Sorry in advance for the shame, But i want to repeat in this Spanish public forum the same words I tell you In Verbania: It`s a big pleasure to fence with you, because in my opinion, you are the most Brave and Determined of All the Italian Fencers I fought in the Meeting. All of them show a good hand, very good technique, elegance and courtesy, but apart of this, I like so much the courage in the fight, and you revealed like the most Bold.

Welcome to you and all the Porta Di Ferro and FISAS members. Our Forum it`s your Forum.

And if you continued interested for the Vizcaína, simply tell us. I don`t forget your commentary: "i Want one, but don´t tell us at this another men .I Want to show the Dagger and say: Envy, jealousy!!

Best Regards and hope to see you again.

Ragazzi, maledetti viziosi venditori di relliquie, macellai dil Doge!

Nice to meet you again in the meeting; I hope to keep the contact by e-mail and perhaps see you if I go to Italy next autumn. I'm entering your webpage, I'll begin to work on the Alatriste's rules translation as soon as I finish my last exams.

Keep on fencing and see you soon!

Hi Mario; it's been a real pleasure to see you again in Verbania. Take your time for the translation. I'll ask Luca to give you all the details about the .pdf file.
