Ennio Mattarelli (5 August 1928-23 August 2026)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ennio Mattarelli, founder of Mattarelli and inventor of the Mattarelli Trap Machines. Ennio was a great Italian sport shooter and Olympic Champion. He was a Gold Medalist at the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics, Gold Medalist at both the 1961 World Championship in Oslo and the 1969 World Championship in San Sebastian. He was also a Bronze Medalist at the 1973 World Championship in Melbourne. At the time of his passing, he was the oldest surviving Olympic Gold Medalist in Italy. As a human being he was one of the most genuine, generous and friendly individuals you would ever meet. It was almost impossible to talk to him when he attended matches due to his popularity. He was also one of the cofounders of Perazzi and designed numerous fi****ms such as the Rottweil Paragon sh***un and Sauer 200 r***e. He was also an avid hunter, returning every year to his property in Africa where he spent quality time hunting and enjoying the scenery and the people. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, daughters Silvia, Monica, and Manuella, Mauro, Massimo and granddaughter Viola. RIP.
