Biography
Bruno Gamba was an Italian rower who formed a coxless pair with Antonio Saverio, representing Canottieri Lecco. They won two Italian trials races, in Milano and Padova, beating the favored Canottieri Firenze crew, which qualified Gamba and Saverio for the 1952 Helsinki Olympics.
Bruno Gamba started rowing in 1946, and was paired for five years alongside Abramo Castagna, joining up with Saverio due to Castagna’s military service. After Helsinki, Gamba retired from competition, and dedicated himself to his work as a craftsman and to his family.
