Early life
Italo Santelli was born in Italy in 1866. He studied at famous Italian schools and was thought to be some of his teachers' favorite pupil. By 1896 he was considered an established fencing master, and Santelli moved to Budapest. Santelli had his son, Giorgio, in Hungary in 1897. 1896 (MDCCCXCVI) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...

Maestro Giorgio Santelli (November 25, 1897 – 1985) was a legendary fencer and fencing master who was the largest mid-20th century influence in raising the quality and popularity of fencing in the United States, and creator of one of the best-known fencing equipment manufacturers. ...

It was in Hungary that Santelli began to learn a newer style of sabre fencing to supplement his classical Italian training. The style involved a much more powerful defense than classical training called for and became known as the "Hungarian style".
Santelli displayed this Hungarian style at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris on the Italian team. He came in 6th at the foil competition, but took home a silver medal in sabre, his teammate Antonio Conte taking the gold. The 1900 Summer Olympics, formally known as the Games of the II Olympiad, were held in 1900 in Paris, France. ...

Post-Olympics At the 1924 Summer Olympics a Hungarian judge Kovacs made a controversial call in a fencing match, siding with France over Italy. An Italian fencer Aldo Boni verbally attacked the judge for the ruling and refused to apologize when asked. Santelli was called in as a witness to Boni's outbreak, and the Italian team was forced to resign from the competition. Image File history File links ItaloSantelli1900Olympics. ...

Once in Italy, the Italian team's captain accused Santelli of speaking out against Boni to remove them from the competition, supposedly fearing they would eliminate his adopted nation of Hungary (who would go on to take the bronze at the 1924 Games). Santelli took this insult very personally and challenged the man to a duel. Georgio, under the rules, took his father's place in the fight. The two men met several times, and their duel was ultimately ruled a draw. Santelli went on to coach numerous notable fencing students over the course of his career. A duel or duel of honour is a formalised type of armed combat in which two individuals participate. ...
