Sante Carollo (Montecchio Precalcino, 8 February 1924 – Thiene, 9 January 2004) was an Italian road cyclist.
His main occupation being a bricklayer, he became famous to the public for being the Maglia nera at the 1949 Giro d'Italia. He formed a rivalry with Luigi Malabrocca for the Maglia nera at the Giro d'Italia.[1] He 'lost' the rivalry, earning the jersey once compared to Malabrocca's twice.[2]
