Biography

Agide Simonazzi was an Italian athlete in the immediate aftermath of World War I. Despite not being in the top 10 in Italy on the 400 metres, he was chosen for the 1920 Olympics where he failed to survive the heats, as well as in the 800 metres where he always had a strong rivalry with Ernesto Ambrosini, his partner in the club.

Domestically, Simonazzi never managed a national title or set a national record. At the National Championships he placed third at Milano 1919 in the 800, behind Dante Bertoni and Giuseppe Bonini.

Personal Bests: 400 – unknown; 800 – 1:58.9 (1920).
