Pietro Fanna (born 23 June 1958 in Grimacco, Province of Udine) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player, who played in midfield, either as an attacking midfielder or as a winger.
After spending his youth career with Udinese, Fanna moved to Atalanta (1975–77) at the age of 17, making 20 appearances and scoring a goal in his debut season in Serie B. During the 1976–77 season, the young winger played an important role in achieving Serie A promotion for the Bergamo side.
In 1977, he moved to Serie A giants Juventus (1977–1982), making his Serie A debut with the Turin club. Despite achieving notable domestic success, he failed to live up to his potential during his time at the club, and he was often played out of position. During his last few seasons with Juventus, he managed to earn a place in the starting line-up, and he was still able to contribute to his team's three Serie A titles, which he won during the 1977–78, 1980–81, and 1981–82 seasons, also winning a Coppa Italia with the club during the 1978–79 season.
In 1982, he transferred to Hellas Verona F.C. (1982–85), where he helped the team to win an historic Serie A title during the 1984–85 season under manager Osvaldo Bagnoli, playing alongside other key players such as Roberto Tricella and Antonio Di Gennaro. In 1985, Fanna moved to Inter (1985–89). Under manager Giovanni Trapattoni, he contributed to the victory of Inter's record-breaking 1988–89 Serie A title, although he only made 13 appearances.
