Gary di Silvestri (born February 3, 1967 in Staten Island, United States) is a cross-country skier who competed for Dominica at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the 15 kilometre classical race. His Olympic appearance for the tropical island country (which had never fielded a team in the Winter Olympics before) became widely controversial after it was exposed that di Silvestri and his wife, Angelica di Silvestri, (who also goes by Angelica Marrone), paid to become Dominica citizens and lied to media outlets about various aspects of their lives.
Gary di Silvestri is a graduate of Monsignor Farrell High School in Staten Island, New York, where he was a member of its football and wrestling teams. He has an undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a Masters from Columbia University. He was a Rhodes Scholarship finalist, and had been awarded a Rotary Scholarship for study in Rome, Italy, where he would meet his future wife, Angelica Morrone. He has had a long career in financial services and has worked in for Deutsche Suisse Asset Management in Washington, D.C.; Credit Suisse First Boston in London, England; and Morgan Stanley in both London and New York City.
