Parries?

Doesnt seem formal parries as per later styles, nor stylistically much emphasis on static parries or guards.

Guards more like posta rather than static parrying guards.

Exception seems to be
Testa. Like the St George Cross?
Possibly Alicorno? Like the point forward hanging guard .. actually probably not. Seems more for threatening imbroccata than ward+whipdowncut

Parrying actions:

Mezza volta di Mano
Simple true edge parry

(Low stretta to faccia .. is what?)

Most importantly bolognese parries by cuts, particularly false edge and more particularly low to high (to clear way for attack high to low).

Falso parries using foible
True edge using more towards forte or middle
