Alessandro Rosina (born January 31, 1984 in Belvedere Marittimo, Cosenza) is an Italian footballer, currently playing for Torino F.C. of Serie A, he is an attacking midfielder who plays on either flank or central.
He was brought up in the Parma youth system, and then was loaned to Verona to gain experience. He moved back to Parma where he did not find an opportunity to impress, and was subsequently sold to Torino, where he became the driving force behind their 2005-2006 promotion campaign.
After a dazzling 2006-07 season, many pundits have hailed him one of the brightest future stars of Italy. A regular in the Italy U-21 squad, his Brazilian-inspired flair and technical skills have earned him the nickname Rosinaldo, a portmanteau of his last name and Ronaldo's name.[2]
On October 2007 he penned a contract extension with Torino to June 30, 2011, ending speculation over his future.[3].He is most likely going to leave Torino after the club's relegation to the Serie B.
On October 17, 2007, Rosina made his Italian national team debut against South Africa in an international friendly match.[4]
