Armando Segato was an Italian football player. Armando Segato was born in Vicenza, Italy. He played left halfback for the fabulous Fiorentina side of the 1950s. Still famous in the eyes of the 'Viola' fans are his left-footed crosses that tore through the field to meet the runs of Julinho and Virgili. Loyal, proper, and athletic he set an example even for opponents who respected him like a teammate. For the national team he was among the most featured players in the decade and at the 1954 World Cup he played in a game against Switzerland. In 1961 Fiorentina became the first Italian team to win a European Cup but he had just left Florence for Udine where he closed his career in 1964 with the small side.
