Fabio Bazzani (born 20 October 1976) is an Italian association footballer who currently plays for A.S.D. Mezzolara as a striker. He is known in particular for his heading ability, as well as his shooting accuracy and physical strength.
After two seasons with amateur side Boca San Lazzaro, Bazzani moved to Serie C2 club Sandonà. In 1997, he was in Serie B team Venezia, but played only twice in the season. He moved to Varese and then Arezzo, where he made an impression scoring 20 goals in 31 matches under the management of Serse Cosmi. In 2000, he returned to Venezia, but scored only five goals in 36 matches. In 2001, he rejoined his former coach Cosmi when he signed with Serie A side Perugia, where he scored ten goals.
In 2002, he moved to Sampdoria, where he scored 16 goals in his first season with the blucerchiati in Serie B and 13 goals in his second campaign with Sampdoria, when in Serie A. During his second season with Sampdoria, he was capped three times in the Italian team. He was loaned to Lazio in exchange for Simone Inzaghi in January 2005, but failed to impress with the biancazzurri and returned to Sampdoria at the end of the season.
On 14 June 2007, he was signed by Brescia Calcio on a free transfer. He had originally signed for Livorno but the move subsequently cancelled, following protests by the amaranto supporters which did not want the player in their team.
