Tommaso Rocchi (Italian pronunciation: [tomˈmazo ˈrɔkki]; born 19 September 1977 in Venice) is a retired Italian professional footballer who played as striker. Before joining Internazionale in January 2013, Rocchi played for Lazio, and is the club's fifth highest goalscorer of all time, three behind Bruno Giordano. Rocchi was an Italy international, being capped three times for the Italian national team.
Rocchi began playing football in his home city of Venice and joined the youth ranks of Venezia at nine years of age. He came up through the ranks in the Venezia junior system before signing for giants Juventus in 1994. Rocchi won the Primavera title with the Turin club that year before moving up to the first team for the 1995–96 season, in which the bianconeri claimed the Champions League title. He did not make any first team appearances however, and soon left the club.
From then on, Rocchi played Serie C football (mainly in Serie C1), playing in 121 matches and scoring 36 goals for Pro Patria, Fermana, Saronno and Como. Como bought Rocchi for 300 million lire (€154,937) in 1998 in co-ownership deal. In June 2000 Como bought Rocchi outright for 900 million lire (€464,811), 600 million lire (€309,874) excess the original fee. He managed to get a chance in Serie B with Treviso, which Como sold half of the registration rights to Treviso in 2000 for 1.4 billion lire (€723,040) and bought back in June 2001.
