Paolo Zantelli

Paolo Zantelli (died September 15, 2013) was an Italian F2 racing boat pilot, known for winning two gold European championships, and one silver and one bronze.[1][2] Zantelli was considered Italy’s leading expert of his sports category following a career in the UIM F2 division that spanned 17 years.[3] Zantelli died in hospital at the age of 48, after his racing boat collided with another boat, leaving him underwater and unconscious.[4][5] He remained underwater for several minutes before being pulled out by life guards. He was then rushed to a hospital in critical condition but soon died of his injuries.
