Early life

Alessandro Bianco was born in Turin, spending most of its youth in the Metropolitan City of Turin, in a family from Piedmont. [1] [2] [3]

A promising cyclist during his early years, Bianco started to play football as a 7-year-old in Orbassano, but soon joining Torino's academy, Juve's old rival. [1] [2] [4] After progressing through the youth ranks of the club from his hometown, Bianco was not retained by Il Toro as an under-15, and went on to play with amateur side Chisola Calcio, in Vinovo. [1] [2] [5] [6]

Enjoying a few regional and national success with the youth team from Chisola, Bianco quickly attracted the attention of another great Serie A club, signing on loan to ACF Fiorentina in 2018, before making his move a permanent one a year later. [1] [2] [5]

Club career

After a first season with Fiorentina's Primavera, where his team won the Coppa after beating the likes of Milan and Juventus, [6] [7] he made his first apparences on the bench in Serie A during the 2020–21 season, under Cesare Prandelli. [1] [5]

For his second season in Alberto Aquilani’s primavera team, Bianco definitely became one of the most prominent member of the under-19, leading his team to another Coppa Primavera win, once more with victories against Milan and Juventus—during which he respectively delivered an assist and scored a goal from a free-kick—before defeating Genoa and eventually Lazio in the final. [1] [8]

After impressing new manager Vincenzo Italiano during the early 2021–22 season, [3] [9] [10] Bianco made his professional debut for ACF Fiorentina on the 13 August 2021, replacing Erick Pulgar during a 4–0 home Coppa Italia win against Cosenza. [10] [11] [12]

Announced on a potential loan move to the Serie B team against which he made his debut, [12] [13] he eventually stayed in Florence, making more bench appearances in Serie A [5] and another on the field in Coppa, again replacing Pulgar, [14] while still playing with the Primavera squad, notably during their victorious Supercoppa Primavera campaign against Empoli. [15] [16]

On 13 July 2023, Bianco moved to Serie B club Reggiana on a loan deal until 30 June 2024. [17]

Upon his return from loan, Bianco made a substitute appearance for Fiorentina in their 2024–25 Serie A season opener and he started their Conference League qualifier against Puskás Akadémia, which ended in a 3–3 draw. [18]

On 30 August 2024, Bianco was loaned by Serie A side Monza. [19]

International career

Alessandro Bianco is youth international for Italy, having already played with the under-18 before his debut professional season at Fiorentina. [1] [5] [6] [9]
