He is considered an important player in S.S.C. Napoli's history, and became extremely popular with the fans during his time with the club.[1]
Early life
[edit]Sallustro was born in Asunción, Paraguay to Italian parents (Gaetano and Evelina), but moved to Naples in Italy, with his parents and siblings as a youngster in 1920.

Club career
[edit]Napoli and Salernitana
[edit]Sallustro joined Napoli when they were first known as Internaples and stayed on with the club for the majority of his career. At Napoli he was nicknamed "Il Veltro" and "Il Divino". Due to his background, Sallustro chose not to take any financial pay from the club, as his father believed that it was unacceptable to earn a living in such a manner. However, he was rewarded with gifts, including a luxury motor car, a black Fiat Balilla 521. In his first season, he scored 10 goals in 13 appearances, at only 18 years of age.[1][2]
At Napoli he played for 12 years, forming a strong attack alongside Antonio Vojak and Marcello Mihalich. In total, he scored 108 goals for the club in 269 appearances across all competitions, making him Napoli's fifth-highest goalscorer of all time. He served as the club's captain between 1933 and 1937. His career was halted at one point due to World War II.[1][3][4] He had a brother two years his junior, named Oreste Sallustro (referred to sometimes as Sallustro II).
