Rino Della Negra (18 August 1923 – 21 February 1944) was a French footballer who was active in the Resistance during World War II.
Della Negra was born in Vimy, France to Italian parents, and grew up in nearby Argenteuil.[1] Playing as a goalkeeper or right winger, he began his football career with local club Argenteuil, before joining Red Star Olympique in mid-1942.[1] Combining his playing career while working in a factory, Della Negra became active in the French Resistance in October 1942, and went into hiding in February 1943.[1] Della Negra, a Communist,[2] was a member of the Manouchian Group; he was wounded in an attack in November 1943, and he was executed by firing squad in February 1944.[1] [3] His execution, along with twenty two fellow résistants is the subject of the famous propaganda poster, l'"Affiche rouge".
