Who is Edoardo Mangiarotti?
Edoardo Mangiarotti (7 April 1919 – 25 May 2012) was an Italian fencer. He won a total of 39 Olympic titles and World championships, more than any other fencer in the history of the sport. His Olympic medals include one individual gold, five team golds, five silver, and two bronze medals from 1936 to 1960.
Edoardo Mangiarotti was born into a famous fencing family on 7 April 1919. Giuseppe Mangiarotti, a Milanese fencing master and 17 times national épée champion, planned his son’s championship career and molded him into an awkward opponent by converting a natural right-hander to a left-hander.

Any person whose last name ends in 'otti' has to be Italian.

Mary Ruth Martell, She seems capable of using other Italian names, but only if they're in front of her when writing her questions.

Few people would know the answer without options. There aren't many fencing fans out there.
