Angelo Luzzani (18 January 1896[1] – 1960) was an Italian lawyer and football player. He was born in Como, where he also died.
He was president of the Rotary Club of Como and Lecco, and president of his Provincial Bar association (Ordine degli avvocati).
Luzzani was born in a middle-class family and attended classical studies in his hometown. He graduated at the University of Milan in 1919 and established a law firm in Como, which he ran until his death.
A soldier in World War I for the Italian army, Luzzani was a refugee in Switzerland for most of the World War II years. He wasn't affiliated with the National Fascist Party.
He was co-director of the city's Sociale theatre from 1942 to 1955.
A player for student's club Minerva, Luzzani joined Calcio Como in 1912 when the two clubs merged. He played for three seasons (1912-1913, 1913-1914 and 1914–1915) for a total of 41 league games, in which he scored 14 goals. He won promotion to the Prima Divisione (the then top level of Italian football) in 1913 and scored twice in his first league debut against Brescia (November 17, 1912).
He left Como in 1915 due to the breakout of war and his football career never restarted.
