Giovanni Luigi "Gianni" Brera (8 September 1919 – 19 December 1992) was an Italian sports journalist and novelist.
This is a description by himself: "My real name is Giovanni Luigi Brera.
I was born on 8 September 1919 in San Zenone Po in the province of Pavia, and grew up like a wild man among woods, river banks and still waters.
[...] I am a Padan from the banks and flood plains, the bush and the sandbanks.
I soon realized I was a legitimate son of the Po".
