The archery community mourns the passing of Mario Codispoti, an archer remembered for his dedication, discipline, and quiet passion for the sport. His death marks a moment of deep reflection for those who shared training fields, competitions, and moments of camaraderie with him.
Archery, a discipline that demands patience, precision, and inner balance, found in Mario Codispoti a committed practitioner who embodied its values. Whether on the shooting line or beyond it, he was known for his respect for the sport and for the people who practice it, contributing to an environment built on mutual support and fair play.
Those who knew him recall not only his technical skill, but also his human qualities: perseverance, humility, and a sincere love for archery that went beyond results or rankings. For younger archers and peers alike, his presence was a reminder that sport is also about character, growth, and shared experience.
Mario Codispoti’s passing leaves a void that will be felt across the archery community. His memory will live on in the stories exchanged among teammates, in the silence before a shot is released, and in the enduring values that he represented.
To his wife Lola, his daughter Luisa, his brother Antonio and all his family, our deepest condolences from the President of World Archery Europe Mario Scarzella, from the entire board and from the entire archery world.
