Posta di Vera Finestra
(“True Window” or “True Royal Window” guard) Fiore Dei Liberi’s term for a stance leading with the left leg and the sword held horizontally out to the right, point aimed at the opponent’s face. The blade is held with the edge and cross upward and the hilt slightly behind the head, not in front of it or to its side. Essentially equivalent to the German right Ochs stance. While Fiore only depicts a right-side version, he does list both a left & right Window guard (Posta Fenestrarum dextra and sinixtra).
