Life and career

In 1923, his father Leonardo founded the Fabbrica Italiana di Uniformi Civili (in English: "Italian Factory of Civil Uniforms"), a company specialised in workwear and uniforms meant for civil use, which Ivanoe inherited.[2][3][4] The company was later renamed to Manifattura Fraizzoli.[2]

In 1960, Fraizzoli became a sporting director at Inter Milan, before purchasing the club from Angelo Moratti in 1968,[5] becoming the club's 16th chairman.

Under his ownership, Inter purchased players such as Evaristo Beccalossi, Alessandro Altobelli, Roberto Boninsegna, and Fulvio Collovati, winning two Scudetto (1970–71 and 1979–80) and two Coppa Italia (1977–78 and 1981–82).[1]

In 1984, he sold the club to Ernesto Pellegrini.[6][1]
