favorovHe was one of the last men to fight a duel. Staying on a Mediterranean island in 1934, he was attacked by a rival for the attentions of a woman. Freccia (illegally) challenged his assailant to a duel. The weapon chosen was swords - his opponent was a cavalry officer, but Freccia had merely had fencing lessons as a boy and went for a "crash course" at a fencing school in Naples in the week before the encounter. They met at 5 a.m. and Freccia's sword pierced his rival's right arm. After 15 minutes of medical treatment, defeat was admitted.
