Luigi Carmine wrote a book about free boxing and self defense (Box libera a difesa personale).
Therefore he get highly inspired by Luis Leboucher "Manuel de la Boxe Francaise et Anglaise Methode" which would most people today call Savate.
The method itself is taught for self-defense on the street for the 19th cent.
I demonstarted this method at Lotta dei folli 2026 in Vienna. A very nice event hostet by Fior della Spada @MarozzolostinVienna. This event highlites Italian HEMA systems.
