Giacomo Mosele

Giacomo Mosele, affectionately known as 'el Barba', is a centenarian and the oldest Italian Olympic skier, having competed in the 1952 Oslo Games. He is celebrated for his remarkable athletic career that began in the post-war period and is marked by a poignant story of being excluded from the 1956 Cortina Olympics due to a housing issue involving a commanding officer. Now at 100 years old, he continues to inspire with his disciplined lifestyle and fond memories of skiing.
