Status	Olympic
Location	Palazzo dei Congressi, Roma
Participants	56 from 24 countries

Since the Melbourne Olympics the Soviet Union had dominated the World Championships and the title had been won by a different USSR fencer in each of the three years. It then came as a surprise that the outstanding fencer at Rome was not a Soviet but a German, the 1957 World silver medallist Heidi Schmid. Schmid scored 18 wins of 20 in sealing her gold medal victory and one of those defeats came after the music teacher had already secured the title. Valentyna Rastvorova ensured the USSR enjoyed a modicum of success by winning the silver with Maria Vicol of Romania taking the bronze medal.
