Pietro Mennea, six medals at the EC
Italians have won 33 titles in the men's field and 7 in the women's field. The men's marathon is a specialty, with five wins in the men's field (two each for the Olympic champions Gelindo Bordin and Stefano Baldini, plus that of Daniele Meucci) and two in the women's field with Maria Guida and Anna Incerti.
Pietro Mennea and Adolfo Consolini, three times each, are the Blues with the most European titles, while in the women's field Messina Annarita Sidoti, with two victories, holds this record. In Stuttgart 1986 the Italian athletes achieved a historical undertaking by painting the entire podium of blue with Stefano Mei, Alberto Cova and Totò Antibo in the 10,000 meters, a result repeated in the marathon race in Budapest 1998 with Stefano Baldini, Danilo Goffi and Giacomo Modica.
