Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of the Angelo family, renowned for their mastery of fencing and horsemanship. The narrative traces their origins from Italy, where they were known as the Tremamondos, to their arrival in England in the mid-18th century. The author sheds light on the family's decision to adopt the name Angelo and their subsequent rise to prominence in London's high society. The family's patriarch, Domenico Angelo, played a pivotal role in popularizing fencing and riding as essential elements of a gentleman's education. His academy in Soho attracted distinguished figures such as the royal family, actors like David Garrick, and artists like Sir Joshua Reynolds. The book explores the lives of Domenico's children, particularly his son Henry, who continued the family legacy and became a celebrated fencing master in his own right. Through vivid anecdotes and historical details, the author paints a rich tapestry of 18th-century London, its social scene, and the Angelo family's place within it. Themes of family, tradition, and the pursuit of excellence are interwoven with the broader historical context of the era. The Angelo family's story offers a glimpse into a bygone world where skill, reputation, and social connections were paramount, leaving a lasting legacy on the cultural landscape of their time.
