Stefano Di Berardino (born 11 January 1987) is an Italian professional footballer currently playing as a defender for Lega Pro Seconda Divisione team Sacilese.
On 30 August 2006, Di Berardino was transferred to Serie A giants Juventus F.C., where he was sent to the youth system. In exchange, Andrea Luci went to Pescara on loan. He was awarded no. 2 shirt in the second half 2005–06 season, to fill for the vacancy of Nicola Diliso.
In 2007, Di Berardino graduated from the Juventus youth system, and was soon sold to S.S. Juve Stabia in a co-ownership deal, along with Giuseppe Rizza and Matteo Trini. He made 21 appearances and scored one goal for the club during the 2007–08 Serie C1 season. In June 2008, Juventus bought back Di Berardino for €8,000. For the 2008–09 season, he was once again sent on loan to the Italian Lega Pro Prima Divisione (ex-Serie C1); this time he joined A.C. Pistoiese, where the defender was consistently part of the starting line-up, making, in total, 28 appearances with 1 goal. He returned to Juventus again in the summer of 2009, but was sold to A.S. Pescina Valle del Giovenco in a co-ownership deal. He made just 6 appearances in 5 months, and was loaned to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione club F.C. Pro Vasto, where he has since made 10 league appearances.
