Guido Carlo Gatti (born 29 April 1938) is a retired Italian basketball player. He was part of Italian teams that won a gold medal at the 1963 Mediterranean Games and finished eighth at the 1968 Summer Olympics. [1]
Guido Carlo Gatti was born in Gubbio to Vittorio Gatti, an entrepreneur and descendant of an Umbrian noble, and an unknown mother. He attended classical lyceum and subsequently dedicated himself to his career in sports, namely basketball. [2] After his sports career, he managed the clothing company founded by his father which dealt with current well-known brands such as Armani, Versace, and Moschino. The company later failed due to the cost of labor being considered too high by the fashion giants. Carlo found his family moved to various parts of central-northern Italy at this time, such as Pesaro and Varese. Around the mid-nineties, he opened the La Casolare farmhouse in the middle of the Tuscan countryside together with his wife Giovanna Bulgheroni, cousin of the entrepreneur Toto Bulgheroni. Today the farmhouse has been sold and the family lives in the province of Varese.
With the Italian national basketball team he played in the 1963 FIBA World Championship, EuroBasket 1965 [3] and at the 1968 Summer Olympics. [4] [5]
Carlo has two children, Emanuela and Alessandro Gatti, the latter an entrepreneur.
