Pietro Monte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pietro Monte was a Spanish master of arms who lived in Italy in the late 1400s. He was a contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci, and is said to have taught da Vinci to play darts. Monte was versed in many fields; he was a warrior, a scholar, and a theologian who wrote numerous books, particularly on battle and the martial arts. His most important work was the Colecteana, which was likely written in the 1480s, and published in 1509, and was a text on single armed combat.
