Alberto Cavallero

Alberto Cavallero (1900 to 1968) was an Italian long-distance runner who took part in the marathon at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. He did not finish the race, but the appearance made him an Olympian, and he also earned one cap for the Italian national team in 1924. He was born on 14 September 1900 and died on 7 October 1968. Cavallero came from the port city of Genoa, where a road race has been named in his honour, so that his name is still attached to local running there long after his own career ended. Reference databases of athletics and the Olympic Games list him, which is how his career is documented today.
