President Andrea Pischiutta, a well-known Roman businessman, was born in Rome on March 24, 1958, and has been a member of Olgiata Golf Club since 1968; he is a golfer with an excellent resume in which two Italian Championships also appear.

Notary Teseo Sirolli Mendaro was born in Rome on February 3, 1932. He joined the large Olgiata family on January 1, 1974, becoming a frequent visitor to the golf course and actively participating in social life. He was a member of the F.I.G. Disciplinary Commission from 1992 to 1994, a post he left immediately after being elected to the presidency of the club, a position conferred on December 3, 1994 and reconfirmed on November 7, 1998.

Mario Croce was an industrialist with a passion for sports. He practiced boxing from 1935 to 1942, then became passionate about motoring and was a Lazio champion, qualifying for the final of the Volante d’Argento. He was interested in and practiced tennis, and was among the founders of the Eur Tennis Club. In 1961 he became a board member of Lazio Nuoto and, in 1970, president of Lazio Rugby. He came to golf when the Real Estate Company decided to leave the Club and put it up for sale. A cordate of Members failed to conclude, due to the low bid, its purchase which, instead, Mario Croce happily closed by becoming President of the Olgiata Golf Club in 1979 and holding the position until 1994. He served as a F.I.G. councilor and also as president of the Lazio Regional Committee of the F.I.G. Among his interests was the world of entertainment for which he created some of the most famous pièces at the Sistina Theater in Rome. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Gold Star for sporting merit.

To preside over the Olgiata Circle came, in 1976, Roman builder Mario Genghini who, after three years, passed the baton of the presidency to Mario Croce.

From 1974 to 1976, Ambassador Giovanni Fornari was elected to the presidency of Olgiata who, thanks to his knowledge in the international field, contributed to the revival of Olgiata in the world golfing arena.

Another nobleman in the destiny of the Olgiata Golf Club, he knew little or nothing about golf when he moved the Dormello Olgiata Equestrian Center from Rome to Bolgheri. Mario Incisa Della Rocchetta, in 1964, was the natural heir to the presidency of the golf club after the passing of its first president Francesco Ruspoli di Morignano, and he continued its work by broadening, in the 10 years he directed the club, his horizons and his family.

In 1961 the Roman nobleman Francesco Ruspoli Duca di Morignano, whom friends familiarly called Frank, was called to the presidency of the newly formed Olgiata Golf Club. He had already served as president of the Rome-Acquasanta Club and, for 25 years was president of the F.I.G.. Such was the esteem in which he was held in international golf that, for a two-year period, he was also President of the International Golf Federation. His commitment, his great passion for the sport and the charisma he enjoyed were instrumental in the development of golf in Italy, which then had only a few thousand players.
