History of FIPM

Costitution

The beginning of the sport in Italy dates back to 1934, and was restricted mostly to the military: two years later at the Berlin Games Silvano Abba won the bronze medal. The Italian Federation for Modern Pentathlon was founded at CONI in Rome in 1940. The Federation (provided for by the Founding Law of CONI in 1942) was dissolved in 1944 and was re-established in 1947 in view of the Olympic Games of 1948 as the Italian Commission for the Modern Pentathlon (Commissione Italiana per il Pentathlon Moderno - CIPM). In 1949 the presidency of the CIPM was taken over by the President of CONI, Giulio Onesti. On 5 December 1973, CONI established a Coordinating Committee, entrusted to Mr Gianuario Carta, who called the establishing AGM. The associations of Modern Pentathlon, meeting in Rome on 27 June 1975, created the Italian Federation of Modern Pentathlon (Federazione Italiana Pentathlon Moderno - FIPM), which was later definitively recognised by CONI on 9 July of the same year. The Federation is listed in Law no. 426 of 16/02/1942.
