Biography

Angelo Malvicini was one of the best Italian marathon runners at the beginning of World War I. Domestically he curiously won two marathon national titles nine years apart. In 1913 in Milano he defeated Pietro Austoni and Cesare Giacobbe, and in 1922, again in Milano, he prevailed in front of Giovannino Guerreschi and Flaminio Perego. His only major international competition was the 1924 Paris Olympics, where he was among the six Italians who competed in the marathon. Italy’s Romeo Bertini won an unexpected silver medal while Malvicini did not finish the race.

Malvicini achieved his most important victory on 18 October 1925 when, beating Emilio Alciati by more than six minutes and Bertini by eight, he won the international Torino marathon in 2-52:12.2. The following year, in Milano on 26 September, he achieved his best time by winning the city marathon in 2-45:47.

Personal Best: Mar – 2-45:47 (1926).
