Giovanni Azzini (pronounced as /it/; 28 September 1929 – 4 June 1994) was an Italian footballer who played as a midfielder.
Azzini played for 5 seasons (152 games, 2 goals) in the Serie A for Calcio Padova.
Azzini is mostly remembered for being accused of fixing a game that his team Padova lost 0–3 to Atalanta B.C. on 30 March 1958. He maintained that the key witness, his ex-girlfriend Silveria Marchesini, was lying as revenge for him leaving her. Nevertheless, he was found guilty and banned from football for life. The ban was later reduced to 2 years on appeal.
Azzini played his only game for the Italy national football team on 21 July 1952, against Hungary, during the 1952 Summer Olympics.[1]
