Franco Semioli (born 20 June 1980 in Cirié, Piedmont) is an Italian footballer. A midfielder, he plays as a right winger.
Semioli, a Piedmontese, made his professional debut playing for local club Torino Calcio during the 1998–99 season. Semioli and his teammate Riccardo Fissore were then signed by Internazionale in June 2000, in a co-ownership deal for a total of 6 billion lire; as part of the deal, Fabio Galante moved to Turin for 5.1 billion lire. Semioli spent seasons back on loan with Torino, and on loan at Ternana and Vicenza, while Torino bought back Fissore for 2 billion lire in June 2001; in total, Inter received 1.1 billion lire in net cash from Torino for Galante.
In June 2003 Internazionale bought the remain half from Torino, and then joint-owned with Chievo in July for €1.05 million, as part of the loan fee of Luciano. Chievo got full ownership in June 2005 for €500,000 as part of Júlio César's deal.
He became one of the most representative players for Chievo, and was one of the main protagonists of the very impressive 2005–06 season contributing 2 goals and 12 assists. One of the top assisters that season.
In July 2007 Semioli signed for ACF Fiorentina for a fee of €7.3million on a four-year contract.
He scored Fiorentina's first UEFA Cup goal against FC Groningen and scored crucial goals against Atalanta and Parma which allowed Fiorentina to surpass AC Milan for the final Champions League spot. In the 2008–09 season Semioli was widely believed to be on his way out because of the tactic change and the arrival of players such as Stevan Jovetic. However, after season ending injuries to Adrian Mutu and Mario Santana, Semioli found his way back onto the first team, and was a valuable asset to Gilardino, providing him with many crosses and being a terror on the wings.
