Career

He was the eighth fencer, and the first Italian fencer, to compete at six Olympics. He was the third Italian, after Piero and Raimondo D'Inzeo, to compete at six Olympics.

At the World Championships, he placed third in 1983 and second in 1990.[3] At the European Championships, he came first in 1981 and third in 1983.[4]

He was coached by Italian coach Gianni Muzio. In February 2008, he and Muzio were hired by the Fencing Federation of Switzerland to be in charge of coaching the Switzerland men's and women's team for the 2012 London Olympics.[5] In April 2014, Mazzoni decided to leave Switzerland and expressed the desire to return to Italy mainly for family reasons.[6] After the 2014 World Fencing Championships the Russian Fencing Federation announced Mazzoni as the new coach of the Russian senior men's épée team.[7]
