Giovanni Ferrari

Known for two World Cups puts him at the very top of the standard's first criterion, and his eight league titles stood as the Italian record for 77 years until Buffon passed it. The list keeps Meazza and Piola from those sides and drops the third double winner. Biggest achievements: World Cup 1934 and World Cup 1938, one of only three Italians to win two World Cups, eight Serie A titles with Juventus, Inter and Bologna.
