Ennio Mattarelli (born 5 August 1928) is an Italian sport shooter and Olympic champion. He won the gold medal in trap shooting at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. [1] He also competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics. [2]
Mattarelli was orphaned at the age of five and raised by his grandfather, Silvio. He started working at the age of 14 and didn't begin clay pigeon shooting until he was 26. Later, he worked at an arms company, where he gained experience with firearms, despite not having formal training. [3]
In 1988, Ennio Mattarelli founded the company Mattarelli, which produces a range of clay target throwing equipment designed for skeet and Olympic trap. [4] Mattarelli equipment has been used at prestigious events, including the Atlanta and Sydney Olympic games, as well as numerous other international competitions, such as the World Cups and the ISSF World Championships.
