Pietro Ferraris - Italian footballer and World Champion

Pietro Ferraris was an Italian footballer who played as a forward. He was a member of the Italian national team that won the 1938 World Cup. Ferraris holds the record for the most championship titles won in the Italian Serie A, having been a six-time winner.

Early Career

Pietro Ferraris began his career at the club "Pro Vercelli," where he made his debut on November 10, 1929, in a match against "Triestina." In that game, Ferraris' club suffered a home defeat with a score of 1-3. After three seasons, Ferraris moved to "Napoli," where he played for four seasons, appearing in 83 matches and scoring 13 goals.

In the summer of 1941, Ferraris transferred to "Torino," with whom he won four Italian championship titles and the Italian Cup.
