Duilio Spagnolo (November 14, 1922 – April 15, 2005) was the 1947 Italian heavyweight champion, who fought Americans Lee Savold and Roland La Starza. His 1950 bout against Rocky Marciano at Boston Garden was canceled. Spagnolo is No. 1 in the 1946 Cicogna Omnia Sport 55-card set and No. 533 in the 1950-1951 Albosports Didasco 675-card set.
Spagnolo fought in the United States mostly, but he enjoyed more success on the European boxing circuit.
On February 25, 1945, he made his professional boxing debut with an eight-round decision win over Luigi Musina, in Milan. He had his first career defeat in his second bout, when he faced Enrico Bertola on August 12 of that year, in Rome, dropping a ten-round decision. Ten days later, the pair would rematch, in Milan, and Spagnolo avenged the defeat with an eight-round points victory over Bertola.
