Marco Storari
Italian footballer
Marco Storari (born 7 January 1977) is an Italian former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
After a lengthy spell in Italy's lower leagues, he arrived in Serie A aged 27. Steady performances for Messina prompted his signing by A.C. Milan in 2007; during his time at the Milanese club, Storari had loan spells with several other Italian sides, as well as Spanish club Levante. He later joined Juventus in 2010, where he mainly served as a back-up to Gianluigi Buffon, winning four consecutive Serie A titles with the club as well as the Coppa Italia. He later returned to Cagliari, where he spent a season and a half, helping the team win the 2015–16 Serie B title and earn promotion to Serie A. He returned to Milan in January 2017, where he spent another season and a half as the club's reserve goalkeeper before retiring in the summer of 2018.
Club career
Early years / Messina
Born in Pisa, Storari finished his football formation at Perugia and Montevarchi (six months), making his professional debuts with Ancona, in the third division. With the latter, he helped to promotion to Serie B in 2000.
After two seasons, Storari left for Napoli which was also then in the second level, in a joint-ownership deal. He continued to play in that category subsequently, joining Messina on loan in January 2002 in exchange for Emanuele Manitta, with the deal being made permanent in summer 2003; Messina promoted at the end of the 2003–04 campaign, with him as an undisputed starter.
Storari made his Serie A debut on 12 September 2004 in a 0–0 away draw against Parma, as the newcomer club went on to finish in seventh place.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Marco Storari”, the useful work is to connect “italian footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q240492. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1977, 2007, 2010 and 2015.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
