Pietro Fanna (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpjɛːtro ˈfanna]; born 23 June 1958) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player, who played in midfield, either as an attacking midfielder or as a winger.

Fanna was a tactically versatile midfielder, who was primarily deployed as a right winger, although he was capable of playing on either flank, or also in the centre as an attacking midfielder; he was also played out of position as a second striker on occasion, which was not his preferred role, however. He was a quick and creative player with good technique and dribbling skills, who was known for his ability to get past opponents in one on one situations on the flank due to his speed on the ball and his use of feints. Although he possessed an accurate shot and was capable of scoring goals, he was known in particular for being an excellent assist provider and crosser of the ball.Regarded as one of Italy's most promising prospects in his youth, despite his talent, he never truly lived up to his potential, and he mainly excelled in smaller teams, where the play would be centred around him. Due to his problematic and introversive character, he was somewhat inconsistent during his stints with larger clubs, where he often drifted in and out of games, as he struggled to handle the pressure placed on him; as a result, he frequently suffered from a lack of confidence with bigger teams, and was more prone to errors. During his time at Verona, however, he played an important role in the team's success by utilising his skills and intelligent movement to hold up the ball in order to create space for teammates and full-backs making overlapping attacking runs. Furthermore, his pace, positional sense, and ability to make attacking runs allowed him to excel in their newly developed counter-attacking style of play.
