Angelo Mazzoni (born 3 April 1961, in Milan) is an Italian épée fencer who competed at six consecutive Olympics between 1980 and 2000, winning gold medals in 1996 and 2000.

Career

Fencing career

Mazzoni was the eighth fencer, and the first Italian fencer, to compete at six Olympics. He was the third Italian, after Piero and Raimondo D'Inzeo, to compete at six Olympics.

At the World Championships, Mazzoni placed third in 1983 and second in 1990. At the European Championships, he came in first in 1981 and third in 1983.

Mazzoni competed in the Individual épée event at the Mediterranean Games where he won a gold medal in 1983 and a bronze medal in 1991.

He was coached by Italian coach Gianni Muzio.

Coaching career

In February 2008, Mazzoni and Muzio were hired by the Fencing Federation of Switzerland to be in charge of coaching the Switzerland men's and women's teams for the 2012 London Olympics. In April 2014, Mazzoni decided to leave Switzerland, and expressed a desire to return to Italy mainly for family reasons.

After the 2014 World Fencing Championships, the Russian Fencing Federation announced Mazzoni as the new coach of the Russian senior men's épée team.

Since 2022 he has been coaching the Israeli fencing team, including epee fencer, Yuval Freilich.
