Alessandro Gamberini (born 27 August 1981) is an Italian footballer who plays for A.C. Chievo Verona as a central defender.
He spent most of his professional career with Fiorentina, appearing in 224 official games over the course of seven seasons.
An Italian international in the late 2000s, Gamberini represented the country at Euro 2008 and the 2009 Confederations Cup.
Born in Bologna, Gamberini made his professional – and Serie A – debut with Bologna F.C. 1909 in 1999–2000 – in a 1–3 away defeat against S.S. Lazio on 9 January 2000 – and remained there for six seasons, a one-year loan to Hellas Verona F.C. notwithstanding.
In the 2000 off-season, he was acquired by Juventus F.C. alongside Alex Pederzoli and Giacomo Cipriani in a pack deal for €5.16 million, in exchange for the remaining 50% of Jonatan Binotto's registration rights for the same amount, with 50% of Gamberini's rights being priced at €2.32 million. His co-ownership deal was terminated in the favour of Bologna in June 2002, for a peppercorn fee, making the Turin side register a loss of €1.5 million (the residual unamortised transfer fee of €4.64 in three years), but with a financial income of €2.32 million as Juve did not have to pay the remaining 50% registration rights.
