A versatile midfield player, Gianluca can perform on either flank or also take a central role if required.
His early career was spent in the lower divisions with Como before he stepped up to Serie A with Bari in 1997.
Gianluca made his full international debut in February 1999 against Norway and the following summer he was sold to Juventus for a fee of around £15million.
Gianluca scored Italy's first goal as the beat Ukraine 3-0 in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup.
