Antonio Mariano Floro Flores (born 18 June 1983) is an Italian footballer who plays for Bari on loan from Chievo as a striker.
Floro Flores was born in Naples, and started his career at S.S.C. Napoli. He made his Serie A debut on 28 January 2001 against Roma. After six months on loan to Serie A Sampdoria, Floro Flores transferred to Perugia after the club had gone bankrupt. At Perugia, Floro Flores scored 8 goals in Serie B, and two more against Treviso in the promotion play-off second legs. But Perugia also faced bankruptcy, and Floro Flores joined Arezzo in the summer of 2005. He remained at the club for two seasons and scored 28 goals in 79 league matches.
After Arezzo got relegated to Serie C1 in summer 2007, he was signed by Udinese Calcio in co-ownership deal. In June 2008 Udinese bought Floro Flores outright. In January 2011 he was loaned to Genoa and was in fine form for his new club scoring 10 goals in 18 matches. In August 2011 he signed a new 5-year contract with Udinese. During the summer of 2012 he was sent on loan to Granada in La Liga. On 16 September 2012 Antonio Floro Flores scored his first goal for Granada in the 82nd minute against Deportivo to lead his side to a come from behind draw.
In January 2013 he left for Genoa C.F.C. for about €6.3 million (cash plus 50% rights of Masahudu Alhassan and Alexander Merkel which tagged for €1.5M and €4.0M respectively). However, he only scored 2 goals in half-season, 10 goals behind team top-scorer Marco Borriello.
