Biography
Lucio Ceccarini was an Italian champion both in swimming (relay) and water polo, both for Roman club SS Lazio Nuoto.

After his active career, Ceccarini remained involved in the sport, first as a referee, later as chairman of the Centro Sportivo Aventino. His son Enrico followed him as a water polo player in Italy’s Serie A league, while his son Andrea became an Olympian in swimming.
