Carlo Rinaldo Masseroni (4 January 1891 – 30 January 1957) was an Italian entrepreneur and the owner of Inter Milan from 1942 to 1955.[1]
In November 1931, he became a founding partner of Ursus Gomma in Vigevano, a company specialising in producing PVC footwear.[1]
Masseroni became Inter Milan's 14th chairman in 1942,[1] during the height of World War II, at a time when the club had been renamed Ambrosiana by order of the fascist regime.[2] It was thanks to him that the club reclaimed its original name, Internazionale.[2] He led the club until 1955, during which time Inter won the 1952–53 and 1953–54 Serie A titles.[1]
In 1955, he sold the club to Angelo Moratti.[1] He died of a heart attack in Sanremo on 30 January 1957.[1]
