Carlo Mascheroni

Carlo Mascheroni (born 7 June 1940 in Giussano) is an Italian equestrian and sportsman who competes at the international level in horse-driving (single, pairs and four-in-hand).

Biography

Mascheroni was born in Giussano into a family of saddlers. Since 1898, his grandfather Carlo and his father Ugo have produced handcrafted leather harnesses and goods.

Nine-time Italian champion in driving, Mascheroni represented Italy at the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in four-in-hand driving several times, including 1994 in the Netherlands, 1998 in Italy, 2002 in Spain, and 2006 in Germany. He won his first international driving competition in Rome at the 1982 CSIO Passo Corese.

Based in Giussano (near Milan), Italy, Mascheroni owns a saddlery and collects antique carriages, leather harnesses, harness goods and accessories.
