Arturo Schiavone was born in Lucera on 8 August 1885, but Milanese by adoption, he knew the bridge in 1924 and immediately elected him to his favorite pastime.
He had the good fortune to be able to angolize the baron Acchiappati and to be able to make a couple with a young Mario Franco.
He was president of the Little Club of Milan and vice president of the Milan Association.
He never practiced the competitive bridge and to understand his spirit, I quote you this sentence that should be well thought out: "I would like to remind you that the bridge must serve to improve one's mental concentration on all problems and not just those of the cards and the first problem to solve is to get to a table, greet politely and prepare to open the new cards as if it were a book that tells a new story, a new adventure. Without this spirit the bridge is reduced, and a lot, in every its value ".
