WHO WE ARE
CUS Pavia Scherma is one of the most important companies in the Lombardy area, boasts a long tradition in swordsmanship and has also been offering saber courses for some years. Fencing was born together with CUS Pavia in the immediate post-war period and found its first headquarters in the gym of the Student House. Over the course of its very long history, the Section has changed countless locations until moving to the current fencing room at PalaCUS where there are eight electrified platforms.
CUS Pavia Scherma has been affiliated with FIS since 1946
WHAT WE DO
Starter courses for children and teenagers and amateur courses for adults and university students. Competitive activity for children, young people and adults. The section offers its members saber and sword courses, with a team of 4 technicians led by the Technical Director Matteo Beretta, with the prestigious collaboration of the instructors Jacopo Rutigliano, Alessio Esposito, the Olympic athlete Elisa Uga and the Maestro Luca Bolis. Despite being a typically individual sport, CUS Pavia Scherma has a consolidated participation in the Sword Society Championship with a men’s and a women’s team. From the age of 10 it is possible to start competitive activity by participating in federal competitions. CUS Pavia Scherma participates in regional, national and international competitions.

DISCIPLINE
Fencing is synonymous with dexterity, speed, timing and precision. Fencing means learning one-to-one competition, knowing how to maintain the concentration necessary to face the competition which can last for the whole day. Fencing is one of the oldest Olympic disciplines and is defined by purists as a noble art. In fact, this discipline has its origins in the club environment and the first competitions took place in theatres.
Information on activities for the 2025/26 season will be available approximately towards the end of July.
