[edit] Career
Bovo grew up playing in the renowned AS Roma youth system, and was sold on a co-ownership bid to Serie B club Lecce in the 2002/2003 season. Lecce promoted to Serie A and gave Bovo the opportunity to make his Serie A début in 2003. On 2004, Bovo was fully signed by AS Roma, who shared his ownership with Palermo; both teams agreed to loan him to Parma F.C., where Bovo played as a regular for the whole season, showing good potential. In 2005, he finally returned to AS Roma, where he made 22 appearances with no goals.
In 2006, his co-ownership between Palermo and AS Roma was resolved in favour of the Sicilian club, and Bovo moved to Palermo. However, during the summer training phase, Bovo suffered a foot injury that forced him away from the pitches for a long time, and made only one league appearance for Palermo before being loaned to Torino F.C. on January 2007.
On February 24, 2007 he played his first Serie A match for Torino against Chievo [1]
He returned to Palermo from his loan deal on June 2007, and was subsequently sold to Genoa on July 10 in a co-ownership deal.[2]
[edit] National team
Bovo was on the squad of Italy U-21 team that won 2004 European Under-21 Football Championship and 2004 Summer Olympics football tournament. He was also part of the Italian squad for the UEFA U-21 Championship 2006.
