Fabio Galante (born 20 November 1973 in Montecatini Terme, Province of Pistoia) is an Italian footballer.

Career

Galante started his professional career for Serie C1 side Empoli F.C., then coached by Luciano Spalletti. He successively moved to Genoa C.F.C. in 1994, where he won the 1996 Anglo-Italian Cup. He then switched to Internazionale in 1996. With Internazionale, Galante played three seasons, mostly as a backup player, winning also a UEFA Cup in 1998.

In 1999 he signed for Torino Calcio, where he spent four seasons, two of them in Serie A.

In 2004, after having been relegated as backup in Torino, he moved to Livorno, where he quickly became a key player and helped the team to maintain a Serie A place until 2008. He was subsequently released for free by the amaranto, but on November 2008 he agreed a one-year contract with his former team, so returning to Livorno for their 2008–09 Serie B campaign.
