Since 1999 it has been a meeting point for all lovers of historical, classical, traditional fencing, as well as European Martial Arts. The idea at its core is that of creating a place where spaces dedicated to training, leisure and sleep are close to now another, so that attendees have to think about nothing but enjoying a few days of high-level fencing.
FIM is also a place of meeting and confrontation for all people who like to study and practice these disciplines; its absolute protagonists are the various workshops, held by experienced instructors, who are usually different every year. This gives one the opportunity to deepen extant knowledge and come in contact with new schools, different disciplines and paths, allowing every participant to create a unique experience for themselves.
