Giuseppe Radaelli, a 19th century Milanese fencer of the Italian school of swordsmanship, is noted for the development of modern sabre play with a light, narrow-bladed weapon. Radaelli was a teacher of mounted troops and was concerned exclusively with the military use of the sabre. He is known for the book, "Istruzione per la Scherma de Sciabola e di Spada."
