Mario Pizziolo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmaːrjo pitˈtsjɔːlo]; 8 December 1909[a] – 30 April 1990) was an Italian football player and manager, who played as a central or defensive midfielder.

[1] Pizziolo played twelve matches for Italy between 1933 and 1934, scoring one goal.

[4] He was part of the gold-winning 1933–35 Central European International Cup squad,[4] and of the side that won the 1934 FIFA World Cup on home soil, in which he played one game, the first leg of the quarter-finals against Spain, in which he got seriously injured, breaking one of his legs, in a 1–1 draw after extra-time.

[6] As Pizziolo could not play any of the other games or the final match for Italy, he was not awarded a medal for his performance until 1988, two years before he died, in Florence, at the age of 80.
