The greatest and most versatile fencer of the century, he won more international
success in the sport than anyone. He was the son of Beppe Nadi, already a
famous fencing master. He was initially taught foil in his father's gymnasium
at an extremely young age, but at fifteen he was already skilful in the other
weapons. He started international competition in 1911 and won the foil at
Stockholm without a single defeat. At Antwerpen, Nadi accomplished one of
the great Olympic feats of all time, winning five gold medals. He is the
only fencer to have won individual titles at more than one weapon, and also
the only one with team titles at all three weapons.
After becoming professional and teaching in Buenos Aires he was, against
all precedent, reinstated as Amateur so that he was able to become, from
1935 until his death, president of the Italian Fencing Federation.
