Rodolfo Gavinelli (Italian pronunciation: [roˈdɔlfo ɡaviˈnɛlli; roˈdolfo]; 1891 or 1 January 1895[1][2] – 1921) 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][2][3] His given name is also uncertain, with some sources stating it is Pietro Antonio instead of Rodolfo.[4]
