Luciano Giovannetti (born 25 September 1945) is an Italian sport shooter and two-time Olympic champion. He won a gold medal in trap shooting at both the 1980 Summer Olympics and the 1984 Summer Olympics. He is the first trap shooter——to successfully defend the "Olympic title." He celebrated his victory in 1980 by, "tossing his cap into the air." And shooting hole through it.
