Angelo Di Livio (born July 26, 1966 in Rome) is a former Italian football (soccer) midfielder. He was nicknamed soldatino (little soldier) during his playing career.
Di Livio has played for Reggiana (1985-86), Nocerina (1986-87), Perugia (1987-89), Padova (1989-93), Juventus (1993-99), and Fiorentina (1999-2005). With Juventus, he won three scudetti and one Champions League title. In 2001, when AC Fiorentina went bankrupt and was re-born as Florentia Viola in Serie C2, Di Livio was the only player to stay with the team, showing his dedication for the bankrupted side, and played through the depths of Italian soccer to rise back to Serie A in 2004.
For Italy, Di Livio has been capped 54 times but never scored. He played for his country at Euro 96, the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Euro 2000, and the 2002 FIFA World Cup. His first cap came on September 6, 1995 against Slovenia; his last on June 18, 2002 against South Korea.
