Giulio Gaudini had won an Olympic gold medal as part of the Italian foil team in 1928 but, despite being one of the most successful fencers in the inter-war period, had not won an individual foil in any of his three previous Olympic appearances. Gaudini had been European champion in 1934 but that title was now held by André Gardère, one of two brothers who would represent France in Berlin.
There were few surprises in the list of qualifiers for the final pool which included three Italians in the eight combatants. As André Gardère floundered, his brother Edward emerged as the most serious threat to Gaudini. The deciding bout saw Gaudini emerge victorious by 5 hits to 3 and go on to complete a perfect 7-0 record. Another Italian, Giorgio Bocchino, won the bronze medal.
Gaudini did not live to see another Olympic Games as he died of lung cancer in early 1948.
