Source-derived summary

Nicolò Vittori (12 March 1909 – 26 May 1988) was an Italian rower who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics and in the 1936 Summer Olympics.

Vittori was born in Izola in 1909, which at that time belonged to Austria-Hungary. After WWI, the town was part of Italy and Vittori represented that country. In 1928 he won the gold medal as a member of the Italian boat in the coxed four event. Eight years later he was part of the Italian boat which was eliminated in the repêchage of the coxed four competition.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Nicolò Vittori” as italian rower (1909-1988). This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Nicolò, Vittori and Italian.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1909, 1988, 1928, 1936—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1909-03-13, 1909-03-12—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Nicolò, Vittori and Italian providing the first useful test.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
