Filippo Cristante (born 20 April 1977, in San Vito al Tagliamento) is an Italian footballer who played for Portogruaro in Lega Pro.

Equipped with a powerful physique, Cristante specializes in defensive roles, left, right and centre. Originally he played as an attacker, but was soon deployed in defence.

Career

Cristante started his career in the amateur divisions, with Sacilese, where he already demonstrated his talent, before moving to Serie B side Cosenza. Experiences with Padova and Ravenna in Serie B soon followed. In 2001 he moved to Piacenza, which he made his debut in the top division, starting in the Serie A match Lazio-Piacenza, on August 26, 2001, which ended in a 1–1 away draw. He remained with Piacenza (playing in two in first division league championships and two in Serie B) until January 2005, when he was hired by Messina in Serie A. With the team, he scored his first and so far only goal in the top division, under Peloritana. Since 2006, he has played for Mantova in the second division of Italian Football.

In July 2009, he signed a two-year contract with Ancona.^[1]
