Ilio Colli, vulgo Paor[1] (May 30, 1931 – February 21, 1953), was a skier from Italy. He represented his native country at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, where he came in eighteenth in the men's downhill event.[2]
Colli, fourth of six children of Vincenzo Colli and his wife Dimai Costanza, née Piero de Jenzio Dea,[1] was born in Cortina d'Ampezzo. He was killed when he crashed into a tree during a ski race at 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) in Madesimo. A ski course at Cortina d'Ampezzo was named in his honor.[3]
