Biography

The Italian fencer, Edoardo Mangiarotti, was a winner of a record 13 Olympic medals (six gold, five silver, two bronze) in fencing from 1936 to 1960. He was most successful in the épée team event winning four gold medals (1936, 1952, 1956, 1960) and a silver (1948). His other gold medals came in the épée individual (1952) and the foil team (1960). After making his international début at the 1935 World Championships, Mangiarotti won two world individual épée titles and was a member of 13 winning teams in the épée and foil. His business career was as an estate agent and journalist, and he later became secretary-general of the Fédération Internationale d’Éscrime (FIE). His brother, Dario, was also a member of the Italian medal winning Olympic épée teams in 1948 and 1952. They were both taught by their father, Giuseppe, who was several times professional épée champion in Italy.
