Vittorio Parigini (born 25 March 1996) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Perugia on loan from Torino and the Italy national under-21 football team.[1]

Early life

Born in Piedmont from a southern family, his mother is a native of Atripalda, in the province of Avellino.[2]

Club career

He began to play football at the age of four in Pancalieri, an amateur club on the outskirts of Turin. Spotted by Silvano Benedetti, he entered the Torino youth system at age 10 after a three day trial with the club. He had a strong showing in the "Allievi Nazionali" and the "Primavera" under the youth coach Moreno Longo, who did not hesitate to play him to effect, even against bigger opponents of his age.[2][3][4]

In 2013, at age 17, he was loaned to Juve Stabia in Serie B in his first season among the professionals. He disputed 14 games (including 5 as a starter), but did not score.[5]

The following year he returned to Serie B on loan to newly promoted Perugia.[6][7] He made his debut with the Umbrians on 23 August 2014 in the second round of Coppa Italia against Spezia (2–1), scoring the winning goal in extra time.[8] He made his debut for the club in the league on 30 August against Bologna (2–1), where he entered as a substitute and provided the assist on the winning goal for Diego Falcinelli.[9] On 8 November he scored his first goal in the league against Virtus Entella.[10] He concluded his first season with Perugia with 33 appearances and five goals, achieving the promotional playoffs where Perugia was eliminated by Pescara.

In the summer of 2015 the loan of the player was renewed and Parigini returned to Umbria.

International career

He was a member of the Italy under-17 side which won a silver medal at the UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship in Slovakia.[11] He was also a regular of the under-17 side that was eliminated in the round of 16 at the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup by Mexico.[12] On 12 May 2014 he was called up to the Italy under-19 side by Alessandro Pane in view of the UEFA Under-19 Championship.[13] On 5 September he scored his first brace for the under-19 in a friendly against Slovakia.[14]

On 5 August 2015 he was called up to Italy under-21 team by Luigi Di Biagio for the first friendly of the new biennium to be played on 12 August in Telki against Hungary.[15] He debuted on 13 October during a 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match against Ireland, in which he scored the winning goal for Italy's victory (1–0).

Style of play

A player with strong offensive skills as well as with physical strength, technique, acceleration and explosiveness. He was a striker until Roberto Fogli, his coach in the "Giovanissimi Nazionali" of Torino, decided to turn him into a winger.[2] Mainly used as right winger, he can be played with the same effect on the left wing, due to his flexibility, he has played at good levels even as an attacking midfielder or pure striker. He is likened to Alessio Cerci for his movement on the pitch,[16] particularly with regard to speed and his ability to get past his opponent.[16]
