Mario Vaselli was involved with Lazio helping the club financially during the 1950s.
He was joint president with Costantino Tessarolo from 1954 to 1956 and was the one who helped with the signings of Arne Selmosson and Humberto Tozzi among others. He even financed the purchase of Luis Vinicio whom he instead left to Napoli to help out his friend Achille Lauro.
The heavy financial situation of the club forced Tessarolo and him to leave in 1956. Lazio had spent way too much and had a billion lire deficit. The new president Leonardo Siliato was forced to sell Selmosson to Roma to try and improve the situation.
Vaselli also financed the Movimento Sociale Italiano, the neo-fascist party born at the end of the second world war.
He did a lot for Lazio but maybe bit off more than he could chew.
