Alexandre De Maria (19 June 1904 – 17 March 1968), simply known as De Maria and sometimes referred as Alejandro Demaría or Alessandro De Maria, was a Brazilian–born and Italian professional footballer who played as a left winger.
Starting his career at Club Athletico Independência, he arrived at Corinthians in 1926, standing out for his height of 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in).
Even though he was clumsy, he scored several goals, standing out enough to be hired by S.S. Lazio in 1931 alongside Filó, Armando Del Debbio and Rato Castelli.
[1] De Maria also scored the first goal of the history of Parque São Jorge stadium.
[2] In his international career, De Maria played unofficial friendlies for Brazil from 1928 to 1931, such as a match against Ferencváros, and a few more matches for Italy between 1932 and 1934.
