Synopsis
Edoardo Mangiarotti, il Re di Spade is a documentary dedicated to the Italian athlete who won more Olympic titles (13) and World Championships (26) than any other fencer in the history of the sport. Dead before the beginning of the 2012 London Olympic Games, his story will live on through his anecdotes of a career begun at the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936 and continued until Beijing 2008.
