Arianna Errigo (born 6 June 1988) is an Italian left-handed foil and sabre fencer.[1]

Errigo is a nine-time team European champion, two-time individual European champion, six-time team world champion, and two-time individual world champion. Known for her aggressive and fast fencing, she is regarded as one of the greatest fencers of all time.

A three-time Olympian, Errigo is a 2021 team Olympic bronze medalist, 2012 team Olympic champion, and 2012 individual Olympic silver medalist. Errigo competed in the 2012 London Olympic Games, the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Errigo is an athlete of the Centro Sportivo Carabinieri.[2]

In the women's individual foil at the 2012 Summer Olympics, she denied her compatriot Valentina Vezzali her fourth successive gold medal in the competition by defeating her 15–12 in the all-Italian semi-finals.[3] She went on to win the silver medal in the event, losing in extra time to another compatriot Elisa Di Francisca.[4]

At the 2013 and 2014 World Championships, Errigo won 2 consecutive gold medals in the individual event.[5]

After the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, where she failed to win a medal, Errigo announced an interest in qualifying for both foil and sabre at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.[6] She later won a silver medal at the sabre grand prix in Cancún, Mexico, in December 2017.[7]

On 13 June 2024, she received the tricolor flag from the president of Italy, Sergio Mattarella, together with the Olympic high jump champion Gianmarco Tamberi for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.[8]
