Nino Bolzoni was an Italian rower of the 1920s. He was born and lived along the river Po, and began rowing in 1925, making his début at the Cremona regattas and in the same year winning a national outrigger fours race in Lodi. Bolzoni became known for his efforts in the coxless pairs alongside Romeo Sisti. Together they won almost everything in that period domestically and internationally; in Lucerne, in Germany, and the 1929 European Championship in Bydgoszcz. The previous year, at the Amsterdam Games, after dominating in qualifying, they saw that the Vestrini brothers had fallen into the water, and reached out to save them but on the day of the final, they had a high fever and could only place an unfortunate fourth in the final.
