Felice Fanetti started rowing with Canottieri Leonida Bissolati in 1932 in the coxless four and then in the pair with coxswain. He then moved to Canottieri Baldesio and in 1939, along with Bruno Boni, won the Italian junior title in coxless pairs at Pallanza, repeating in 1940 at Como among the seniors and in 1941 at Padova. The two also performed successfully in the coxed fours in 1939-41.
After the war Boni / Fanetti resumed competitive rowing, winning the Italian title at Padova in 1948-49, representing the national team at several international regattas, winning the pre-Olympic race in Milano, and finally winning bronze medals at the 1948 London Olympics and the 1949 European Championships in Amsterdam. The pair stopped competitive rowing in 1950.
