Carlo Speroni (13 July 1895 - 12 October 1969) was an Italian long-distance runner.[1]
Speroni began competing at the age of 15 and took part in the 1912, 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics.[2] Nationally he won 12 titles: in the 5000 m (1920, 1921), 10,000 m (1914, 1920, 1921, 1924, 1925), half marathon (1912–1914) and cross country running (1913, 1915).[3] In 1913 he set the Italian record over six miles that stood for 17 years.
In 1936 he became a masseur for the Pro Patria Calcio club, where he worked for 30 years. In 1971 the stadium Stadio Carlo Speroni was named after him.
