Luigi Giuliano (footballer)


Luigi Giuliano was an Italian professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

He had the distinction of scoring in each of his first three Serie A games in the 1948/49 season. He was the only youth team player who was playing regularly on the first squad of A.C. Torino. Because of a delay he had in obtaining a passport he did not join the team on its trip to Lisbon which led to the Superga air disaster, in which the first squad perished.
His last two seasons with A.S. Roma were hampered by serious knee injuries, but that did not stop him from playing on the team that won the 1960–61 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup; he scored a goal in the competition against Union Saint-Gilloise and played in the final. Overall, he played for 14 seasons in the Serie A for A.C. Torino and A.S. Roma.

International career

He played his only game for the Italy national football team on 27 November 1955 against Hungary.
