Biography

Born in Terni, Umbria, Virgili started his professional career at Emilia–Romagna club Parma. In summer 2005, he left the Primavera Youth Team[1] and joined Serie C1 side Napoli in co-ownership deal, for a peppercorn fee of €500 in 4-year deal,[2] where he won the league champion as unused member. In June 2006, he was bought back by Parma for €50,000[2] and became 3rd goalkeeper behind Luca Bucci and Alfonso De Lucia. He played his single appearance that season on Coppa Italia quarter-final 2nd legs, where Parma draw with A.S. Roma in 2-2 and won 4-3 in aggregate. In the next season, he was the backup of Bucci and Nicola Pavarini along with Radek Petr and Eros Corradini.
