Rodolfo Gavinelli (pronounced as /it/; 1891[1]  - 1921), given as Pietro Antonio Gavinelli in some sources,[2] was an Italian footballer who played as a forward. On 9 April 1911, he represented the Italy national football team on the occasion of a friendly match against France in a 2–2 away draw; as his date of birth is uncertain, he is the youngest unofficial player to start and feature in a match for Italy.[1] [3]
