the budget
—
It closes with a balance of 10 medals: 4 golds (Alice Volpi, Tommaso Marini, female foil, male épée), 4 silvers (Arianna Errigo, Alberta Santuccio, Davide Di Veroli, female épée) and 2 bronzes (Martina Favaretto and Mara Navarria ), and with a bitter finish.

—
Leading up to the seventh of nine bouts, the Azzurri collapsed in the last two fractions with Tommaso Marini suffering a -9 (from 35-27 to 39-40) and Daniele Garozzo closing with a -4 which condemns the Azzurri to the draw less prestigious.

In the semifinals, the United States-China and Japan-Hong Kong will compete.
