In 1994, it was his turn to carry on the academy tradition. In 1958, at age 6, he was on the set of the Hollywood blockbuster film Ben-Hur with his father, Enzo, who taught actor Charlton Heston and others how to swing a Roman sword during the filming of the religious epic drama at Rome's Cinecitta' Studios. On his father's path he today has a project. "I want to create a module for teaching stage fencing in acting schools. Ideally, a single and versatile module that can be applied to both entertainment and traditional fencing", he explains. (AP Photo/Domenico Stinellis)
