Aldo Nadi (1899-1965) is considered among the greatest fencers of all time. Aldo was born into a fencing family in Italy, and both Aldo and his brother Nedo Nadi were fencers from a very young age. They were both taught in the classical Italian school of fencing by their father, Beppe Nadi , and both were already winning competitions by their teenage years. Though Nedo won more gold medals (six to Aldo's three), Aldo is generally considered the better of the two. His opponents include the famous French fencer, Lucien Gaudin .
