Carlo Butti

In the 1920s, Carlo Butti was one of the first Italian multi-event specialists, alongside Manlio Legat and Alfredo Pagani. A real pity for Butti was his non-participation at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics due to a foot accident he sustained shortly before the national selections on 8-9 June of the same year. The following year he was runner-up at the Concorso Nazionale Federale held in Milano, behind Giuseppe Tugnoli, and third in 1914 behind Gualtiero Lombardini and Tugnoli.

Shortly before turning 29, Butti competed at the 1920 Antwerpen Olympics, where he did not finish. This was essentially the last year of his sporting activity, failing to take part at the first Italian Decathlon National Championships held in 1922, although Butti was entered in several events at the 1924 Paris Olympics but did not take part.
