Angelo Schiavio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈandʒelo ˈskjaːvjo]; 15 October 1905 – 17 September 1990) was an Italian footballer who played as a forward. Schiavio spent his entire career with Bologna, the club of the city where he was born and died; he won four league titles with the club, and is the team's all-time highest goalscorer. He won the 1934 FIFA World Cup with Italy, finishing as the tournament's second highest goalscorer; winning the 1927–30 Central European International Cup & 1933–35 Central European International Cup and he also won a bronze medal with Italy at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[1] Following his retirement, he later also managed both Bologna and the Italy national side.
Regarded as one of Italy's greatest strikers, he was a quick, prolific, powerful, and technically gifted forward;[2][3][4] in 2012, he was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame.[4]
Schiavo, who died on 17 September 1990 at the age of 84 in the Malpighi hospital of Bologna,[4] was also the last surviving player from Italy's 1934 World Cup winning team.
