Joseph Nicholas DePietro (June 10, 1914 – March 19, 1999) was an American bantamweight (56 kg) weightlifter. He won gold medals at the 1947 World Championships, 1948 Summer Olympics and 1951 Pan American Games.[1] During his career DePietro set two world records, in 1947 and 1948, both in the press.[2] DePietro had very short arms and body, so that the bar was barely clearing his head when he was lifting it.[3]
