Piero D'Inzeo

Colonel Piero D'Inzeo (4 March 1923 to 13 February 2014), born in Rome, was an Italian show jumping rider and an officer in the Italian cavalry. He won six medals at the Olympic Games, two silver and four bronze, among them the individual silver in the 1960 Rome Grand Prix behind his younger brother Raimondo, who took the gold. The two brothers, called the invincible brothers of Italian equestrianism, were the first athletes to compete at eight Olympic Games, consistently from 1948 to 1976. Piero also won the individual European Championship title in 1959 on Uruguay, with further European medals in 1958, 1961 and 1962 on The Rock, and he took international Grand Prix wins in Aachen and Rome, notably on The Rock and Easter Light. He was more technical and calculating than his brother.
