Biography
Born in Civitavecchia, north-west of Roma, Michelangelo Borriello was a colonel in the Bersaglieri corps, and fought at El Alamein. He was honoured with two bravery medals.
Borriello was also a versatile sportsman, and after many years as a modern pentathlete, concentrated on shooting and appeared at four Olympics in the rapid-fire pistol event. His best finish was ninth at London in 1948. In addition, he took part in three World Championships without a medal, but was four-times the Italian champion.
After ending his active shooting career, Borriello was secretary-general of the Italian Shooting Federation (UITS), from 1959-73. He was president of the Federation between 1975-89, when he stood down from the post. Borriello was also a member of the Union International de Tir and was an international judge.
