Bruno Cipolla (born 24 December 1952) is a retired Italian rowing coxswain who had his best achievements in the coxed pairs, together with Renzo Sambo and Primo Baran. They won a European title in 1967 and an Olympic gold medal in 1968, for which Cipolla received a car from the Fiat company. His career was interrupted for six months by a motorcycle accident after the Olympics. He retired in 1971.[1][2]
