Born on November 11th 1868, when only fourteen years old, Domenico Giambonini from Gandria won his first sport shooting medal in Italy. In the course of his lifetime, he was to win 600 awards; in fact, he is among the greatest sport shooters Ticino has ever known. Although he was a real champion, Giambonini kept practicing sport shooting as a passion and hobby and continued his normal working activity. At 81, he was awarded a special acknowledgement for having participated in a federal country competition obtaining as many as 80 points. He died in Bellinzona on August 8, 1956.
