Ambrogio Fogar (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfɔːɡar]; 13 August 1941 – 24 August 2005) was an Italian sailor, writer, rally driver, adventurer, and television presenter. He was a Commander of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, gold medal for athletic value, gold medal for marine value, gold medal to memory and other.
Biography
[edit | edit source]His exploits included a number of successful long-distance sailing feats, such as becoming the first Italian to sail single-handedly from east to west around the world, starting and ending his journey in Castiglione della Pescaia, Tuscany. In 1978, after being capsized by orcas, he survived more than ten weeks in a life raft in the South Atlantic along with a friend, journalist Mauro Mancini,[1] who died of pneumonia two days after the two were rescued.[2] Another venture was Fogar's solo sled expedition to the North Pole. He competed several times in the Dakar Rally and in the Rallye des Pharaons.
In 1992, Fogar was paralyzed from the neck down following a jeep accident while rallying in Turkmenistan. This did not end his adventurous spirit, and in 1997, in a wheelchair, he competed in a round-Italy yacht race.[3]
He died in 2005 of a heart attack and is buried at the Monumental Cemetery of Milan, Italy.
Personal life
