Italy will take to the platform in the afternoon for two team medals at the Fencing World Championships in Cairo.
But if the sword girls go hunting for gold against South Korea, the blue sabers will have bronze as their goal, given that in the semifinal Luca Curatoli, Luigi Samele, Pietro Torre and Michele Gallo were beaten by Hungary for 45 -33.
The boys of coach Nicola Zanotti were ahead until 40-39, then the Olympic and world champion Szilagyi made the difference and led the Hungarians to the final against South Korea. Italy will instead face Germany.
