Gianmarco Zigoni (born 10 May 1991) is an Italian footballer who plays as a striker for SPAL, on loan from Milan.
Zigoni was born in Verona, the son of former Juventus and Hellas Verona striker Gianfranco Zigoni and grandson of former Napoli midfielder Pierluigi Ronzon.
Raised in Oderzo, Zigoni started playing football with local team Opitergina, before joining Treviso's youth system, where he scored more than one hundred goals. He made his professional debut with the club in a Serie B game against Ancona on 26 January 2009, aged 17. The match ended in a 2–1 loss for Treviso, with Zigoni scoring their lone goal. He scored his second goal only four days later, in a 3–2 win against Brescia. The young striker went on to make a total of 18 appearances for Treviso in the 2008–09 season, being included 8 times in the starting line-up.
Coming to the attention of several Serie A clubs, such Fiorentina, Internazionale and Juventus, Zigoni was eventually signed by Milan at the beginning of the 2009–10 season, for €1.3 million. He became a regular of their youth team, scoring a total of 19 goals in league and cup games. In particular, he scored in both legs of the Coppa Italia Primavera final, as Milan defeated Palermo 3–1 on aggregate to lift the trophy 25 years after the club's last success in the competition.
