Biography

He was born in Gallarate. He competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in men's individual archery, finishing in 6th place and winning the bronze medal in the team event.[1][2] He also competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in men's individual archery, finishing in 10th place and winning the silver medal in the team event.[1][3] In 2003 he has won the World Target Archery Championships for Recurve (Olympic) Division in New York.

Frangilli competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in men's individual archery. He won his first match, advancing to the round of 32. In the second round of elimination, he was defeated by Hiroshi Yamamoto of Japan, the eventual silver medalist.[1] His final rank was 31st overall. Frangilli was also a member of the 7th-place Italian men's archery team at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Frangilli scored a 10 with the last arrow to dramatically win the men's archery team gold medal final against the USA at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[4]

Frangilli has, up to now, won 11 Titles of World Champion for Recurve Bow in various disciplines, including Indoor, Target and Field Archery, so being the only one in the story of recurve archery to win World Champion titles in all the three specialties, for both individual and team. He also co-authored in 2005 a book on Olympic archery technique, entitled The Heretic Archer, with his father and coach, Vittorio Frangilli. He is a former world number one ranked men's recurve archer.

In 2014, using his nick name "GILLO", he has registered a new brand for archery products named "GILLO Gold Medal"
