While the majority of these foreign-born footballers who played for Italy came from South America, Moscardini was the only one born in Scotland.
[5] Moscardini's father was one of three brothers who left their hometown of Barga in Tuscany[6] in 1872 to move to Scotland.
During the First World War, Moscardini left Scotland and enlisted in the Italian Army as a machine gunner.
When the war ended, Moscardini returned to his family home of Barga where he played football for the local team.
He made his last appearance for Italy against France on 22 March 1925 and he marked the occasion by scoring twice in a 7–0 win.
