Matteo Brighi (born February 14, 1981 in Rimini) is an Italian football player, currently a midfielder for Chievo of Italian Serie A.

In 2002, 50% of the rights to Matteo Brighi were sold to A.C. Parma by Juventus F.C. as part of the deal which saw Marco Di Vaio head the other way. The transfer was worth around 5 million Euro at the time. [1] In 2004, Juventus bought back those rights for a reported 11.5 million Euro [2] and sold them to Roma as part of the deal for Emerson, worth 16 million Euro.[3] However Brighi was then immediately sent on loan to Chievo.[4]

Brighi's only cap for Italy was when he started the friendly match against Slovenia in 2002.

His younger brother, Marco Brighi is a professional footballer.
