Biography

Licia Macchini was an Italian gymnast in the 1950s. Born in Lodi, she competed at two Olympic Games: in 1948, where she was the youngest athlete on the Italian team, and in 1952. A member of the Fanfulla club under coach Riccardo Fraschini, in 1950 she was Italian champion in the all-around, but her brightest moment came at the 1950 World Championships, held in Basel, where she won two bronze medals: one individual in the balance beam and another with the team alongside the Olympians Renata Bianchi, Laura Micheli, Elena Santoni, Liliana Scaricabarozzi, Lilia Torriani and the non-Olympians Anna Monlarini and Marja Nutti.
