Piermario Morosini (5 July 1986 – 14 April 2012) was an Italian professional footballer who last played as a midfielder for Livorno, on loan from Udinese. On 14 April 2012, during a match between Pescara and Livorno, Morosini suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on the pitch.
Piermario Morosini was born on 5 July 1986, in Bergamo, Italy. His mother Camilla died in 2001, when he was fifteen years old. His father, Aldo, died in 2003, followed shortly after by a disabled brother, leaving him alone with a disabled elder sister.
Shortly after his parents' death, Morosini remarked that "these are the things that change your life, but at the same time make you so angry and help you achieve what was also a dream of my parents."
Morosini started his career at hometown club Atalanta, and was sold to Udinese in a co-ownership deal during 2005.
On 23 October 2005 he debuts in Serie A in the match Udinese-Inter, collecting in total 5 appearances in this league. In this season 2005–06 he debuts also in UEFA Cup in the match Levski Sofia-Udinese.
Udinese got full ownership from Atalanta in 2006, and loaned him to Bologna in order to gain experience. From 2007 to 2009 half of the registration rights was farmed to Serie B club Vicenza Calcio. Morosini signed 4-year contract with Vicenza and sold for €500,000. Udinese acquired Morosini back from Vicenza for €300,000.
On 31 August 2009, Morosini signed for newly relegated side Reggina on loan.
On 1 February 2010, he was loaned to Calcio Padova. In June 2010, the club decided not to buy him outright.
