Marco Amelia Italian Footballer PlaysMarco Amelia, Cavaliere Ufficiale OMRI born 2 April 1982 is an Italian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie A club Milan. He was part of the Italian squad that won the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In July 2008, after Livorno were relegated to Serie B, Amelia agreed a permanent deal to join Palermo, for €6M, among the highlights of his season, he was mostly remembered by fans for a penalty save to Ronaldinho in the 2–1 Palermo win to AC Milan, but also, in a more negative fashion, for suffering a goal from 45-meter distance by Giuseppe Mascara in the Derby di Sicilia against Catania ended in a shocking 0–4 home loss for his side.
In August 2009, Amelia moved to Genoa as part of a player exchange deal, with Rubinho moving the other way. He was the first choice of the team except a few matches played his understudy Alessio Scarpi. On 23 June 2010, currently with the sell of keeper Marco Storari, Amelia was signed by Milan on loan; the deal also provide them with the right to acquire the player at the end of the loan spell. On 24 May Milan excised the option to sign him outright.
