Pietro Paolo Bevilacqua (English: Peter Paul Bevilacqua; born 29 June 1933 in San Marco in Lamis, Italy) is a former Australian rules footballer and soccer player.[1]
Bevilacqua's Australian rules career was short and uneventful at the highest level but is significant for the fact he is the only known VFL/AFL footballer to have been born in Italy. 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 football (soccer) club Juventus (now Bulleen Zebras).[2]
In 2012, Bevilacqua was named in a celebratory Carlton international team as a follower.[5]
