Enzo Contegno was an Italian sport shooter. A Colonel in the army, he did not begin competing competitively in the free pistol 50m until in 1966, when he was already almost 40 years old, with the TSN Castellammare di Stabia. He joined the national team in 1975, winning his first Italian title in the same year. On the eve of the 1976 Montréal Games, in Pietrasanta, he set the Italian record with 569/600. At the Games, in a day with strong wind, he started the competition well, but then struggled, finishing 17th overall. Internationally, the high point of his career came at the 1979 Mediterranean Games at Split, where he won the gold medal with 564/600, ahead of his compatriot Vincenzo Tondo with 551 and the Frenchman Jean Faggion with 548.
