Biography

Como & Chievo

Parolo started his career at Como. After the bankruptcy of Como in 2005, he joined Chievo on 30 August 2005 and left for Pistoiese in co-ownership deal. In June 2007 Chievo bought back Parolo[1] and re-sold to Foligno. On 4 July 2008 he returned to Chievo again and sold to "city rival" Verona in co-ownership deal, along with Leonardo Moracci and Domenico Girardi (loan).[2]

Cesena

He joined Cesena in the next season, rejoining coach Pierpaolo Bisoli.[3]

In June 2010, Cesena excised the rights to sign him in co-ownership deal, and Parolo signed a contract until 2013.[4] After a good season which Parolo earned a national team call-up, Cesena bought the remain 50% rights from Chievo and extended his contract to 2015.[5]

International career

He received his first national team call-up on 20 March 2011,[6] for a friendly match and UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying. The technical director of Cesena, Lorenzo Minotti, hinted Parolo would receive a call-up on 15 March in an interview by il Resto del Carlino.[7]
