Edoardo Mangiarotti was an Italian fencer who won a total of 39 Olympic and World championship medals, more than any other fencer in the history of the sport. His Olympic medals, won between 1936 and 1960, include one individual gold, five team golds, five silver and two bronze, making him the second most decorated Italian Olympian of all time. Born on 7 April 1919 into a famous fencing family, he was coached by his father Giuseppe, a Milanese fencing master who converted his natural right hand to a left-hander. He consistently won the epee events and was second only to Christian d'Oriola in the foil events.
