INFO:
Giovannini was a half-back or centre back. He had his best time at Inter, where he played 191 matches from 1948 to 1954, captaining the team in the last four seasons. He played also for Lucchese, Lazio, other minor teams and retired in 1957. He capped for Italy 13 times. Regarded as one of the best Italian defensive players at the time, Giovannini was Inter's main stopper in the first half of the 1950s. He wasn't elegant but was strong and efficient in marking his opponent. He possessed excellent speed, which was a key factor in his task to stop the opposing centre forward, intercept the ball during counter-attacks and cut any opponent out of the action.
