A product of the Inter Milan youth system he made his Serie A debut aged 19 in the 1991-1992 season. He was sent to Venezia and Udinese to develop before returning to Inter Milan for the 1994 season. He remained unsettled and joined Roma in November 1995 in an exchange deal with Marco Branca going in the opposite direction. Here he settled in well becoming first choice, earning a place in an Italian eleven who played the Rest of the World in 1998 and an international debut in February 1999 against Norway. He scored the first goal in the European Championship Final in 2000 but injuries have stopped him becoming a regular. A useful back up he can play as a target man or wide on the left.
