Pietro Paolo Bevilacqua (Template:Langx 29 June 1933 – 3 March 2025) was an Australian rules footballer and soccer player.[1]
Bevilacqua's Australian rules career was short and uneventful at the highest level but was significant for the fact he was the only known VFL/AFL footballer to have been born in Italy (in San Marco in Lamis). His one and only game at VFL level was for Carlton against North Melbourne in Round 18 1953.[2][3][4]
Bevilacqua played two senior games for Victorian first division soccer club Juventus (now Bulleen Zebras).[2]
In 2012, Bevilacqua was named in a celebratory Carlton international team as a follower.[5] Bevilacqua died on 3 March 2025, at the age of 91.[6]
