Tullio Biscuola

Tullio Biscuola was an Italian marathon runner, born on 12 July 1894 and died on 13 February 1963. He competed in the marathon at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, which was his only appearance for the Italian national team. Olympedia adds that he was born in Verona, was raised in Rovigo in the Veneto region and became a specialist in long-distance racing, and that he was the only Italian other than silver medallist Romeo Bertini to finish that Olympic marathon, placing twenty-second. A sports facility in Rovigo is named in his memory, and Italian local histories of Polesine athletes record his Olympic story.
