Rodrigo Ferrante Taddei (born 6 March 1980) is a Brazilian footballer for currently unattached. Though primarily a midfielder, Taddei is notable for his versatility on the field. During his career he has played in every position except central defender. Once Taddei even played as a goalkeeper for Palmeiras, when the team's usual starting goalkeeper was sent off.
He started his career in Brazil with Palmeiras, then moved to Italy in September 2002 and signing for Siena, a then Serie B team, which later earned promotion to Serie A.
After another season with Siena, Taddei left on a Bosman free transfer and signed a five-year contract with A.S. Roma on 3 June 2005. He earned a gross salary of €1.75M in the first season and €2.23M in the next 4 seasons.
After joining Roma prior to the 2005–06 season, Taddei made his debut on 28 August 2005 in a 3–0 win away to Reggina in Serie A. Taddei got his first taste of European football, helping Roma to the last 16 of the 2005–06 UEFA Cup, going out to Middlesbrough on away goals. Taddei ended his first season with 9 goals in 53 games in all competitions.
Taddei received some attention after he performed a move he later titled "The Aurelio", named after A.S. Roma assistant manager Aurelio Andreazzoli, in a Champions League group stage match against Olympiacos on 18 October 2006. He scored the opening goal in Roma's 2–1 victory over Manchester United in the first leg of the 2006–07 Champions League quarter-finals. Taddei missed the second leg through injury, as Roma lost 7–1 at Old Trafford. The Brazilian ended the 2006–07 by winning his first trophy, helping Roma to the 2006–07 Coppa Italia, a trophy Roma would retain the following season, beating Internazionale on both occasions.
