Angelo De Martini was an Italian cyclist who competed at the 1924 Paris Olympics, helping Italy win gold in the team pursuit. During World War I De Martini had served as a driver, earning medals for his war effort. After the gold medal in Paris, he won sprint races in Torino, Warszawa, and Krakow. In 1926 he turned pro, winning many races due to his sprinting ability. In 1929 he won 15 out of 15 races in the individual pursuit and the following year he also competed in Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. De Martini quit competing to embark on a successful career building bicycles until 1943 when bombs destroyed his business.
