Andrea Scanavacca
Italian rugby union player
Andrea Scanavacca (born 23 July 1973 in Rovigo) is a former Italian rugby union footballer. His usual position was as a fly half.
He spent most of his club career (15 out of 17 seasons as senior player) with Rovigo which he entered at the age of 6.
He also spent one season each with Rugby Roma in 2000–2001 and Calvisano in 2006–2007.
Scanavacca won his first cap for Italy in August 1999 against Uruguay.
Since then he played 11 full international games until 2007 but never took part to a World Cup.
In 2007 it seemed likely that he would be included in the squad that would take part to the World Cup, but head coach Pierre Berbizier dropped him in June, well before the summer session of test matches that led to the tournament. Scanavacca was "disappointed".
Just some months before his dismissal, during the 2007 Six Nations Championship, Scanavacca scored 22 points against Scotland in a performance that included an interception try and 7 converted kicks. Italy won 37-17.

Why this record matters
“Andrea Scanavacca” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Andrea, Scanavacca and Italian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1061706. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 2000, 2001 and 2006.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
