Giuseppe Moro (16 January 1921 – 28 January 1974) was an Italian footballer who played as a goalkeeper. An eccentric and athletic player, he is regarded as one of Italy's most spectacular keepers.
In eight season in Serie A, Giuseppe Moro defended the goal of six different teams (Fiorentina, Bari, Torino, Lucchese, Sampdoria and Roma).
Moro made his debut with the Italian national team in Budapest, in 1949, and he also appeared with Italy in the 1950 World Cup, in a win against Paraguay, coming on as a substitute for Lucidio Sentimenti. One of his notable saves was from a shot by Stan Mortensen in a classic England–Italy match played in London in 1949; in that game he produced miracles for 75 minutes before giving up goals to Rowley and Wright which did not diminish his outstanding performance.
