&lt;p&gt;Italy`s victory at Euro 2020 shone a light on the great potential of the Italian youth and the development in every department of Serie A. Mancini’s midfield, part of his secret to that extraordinary success, included stars such as Barella, Locatelli, Jorginho and Pessina who entered the senior side after success in club youth teams. Today, just like then, a new generation of players that came up through our youth system are taking centre stage in Italian football. Notably, four of them are Italian citizens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At just 17, &lt;strong&gt;Andrea Cambiaso&lt;/strong&gt; left the &lt;strong&gt;Genoa &lt;/strong&gt;youth sector for a journey through the lower leagues. The young Ligurian grew up through his experiences in Serie D and Serie C with Albissola, Savona and Alessandria, before a brief spell at Empoli where they won promotion from Serie B, only to jump into Serie A with the Grifone, his hometown side. In his first year in the top flight, Andrea showed a strong &lt;strong&gt;attacking skill&lt;/strong&gt; with 1 goal and 4 assists in 26 appearances, as well as &lt;strong&gt;versatility&lt;/strong&gt;, knowing how to play as a full-back or a winger on either side. The following year at Bologna, &lt;strong&gt;Thiago Motta&lt;/strong&gt; mainly used him as a left-back, finishing the season with 32 appearances and 3 assists in Serie A. This year, he made the jump to &lt;strong&gt;Juventus &lt;/strong&gt;where he initially played on the left before shifting to the right permanently from November onwards. At Juventus, he has picked up 2 goals and 3 assists in 26 league games, plus another goal and assist in the 102 minutes of game time in the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa. The highlight of Cambiaso’s season has been a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESrRrmQ8SHc&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;tap-in that sealed Juventus’ win over Hellas Verona in the 96th minute&lt;/a&gt;. This excellent season at Juventus has also earned him his first call-up to the National team with &lt;strong&gt;Spalletti &lt;/strong&gt;involving him in both friendlies played in the USA from 21 to 24 March.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;dd8fb9d2-7f46-40c8-abf8-21cf394645fc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;dd8fb9d2-7f46-40c8-abf8-21cf394645fc&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/97c335d4-7a59-45d0-b9dc-84603e9c92c4/Sito_HERO_cambiaso.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;dd8fb9d2-7f46-40c8-abf8-21cf394645fc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;dd8fb9d2-7f46-40c8-abf8-21cf394645fc&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Product of the Napoli youth sector and born in 2000, &lt;strong&gt;Gianluca Gaetano&lt;/strong&gt; had little chance to show off at the start of his career, pickin gup only a few minutes between Serie A TIM, Coppa Italia, and the Champions League. In January 2020 he went out on loan to &lt;strong&gt;Cremonese &lt;/strong&gt;in Serie B where Bisoli treated him as an offensive &lt;strong&gt;jack of all trades&lt;/strong&gt;, playing as a midfielder, attacking midfielder, or winger depending on the game. His first year with the Grigiorosso ended with 3 goals and 2 assists in 15 appearances, numbers that convinced the two sides to renew his loan deal for another year. The next year in Cremona went even better: Gaetano contributed 7 goals, 5 assists, and many touches of class to the Lombardy side`s &lt;strong&gt;promotion &lt;/strong&gt;campaign. Back at home in Napoli, he struggled to secure himself a spot in Spalletti’s Scudetto-winning team, bagging one goal and one assist in his 8 appearances. The tune didn’t change under Garcia or Mazzarri, but in January a call from Ranieri came, sensing the impact he could have in &lt;strong&gt;Sardinia&lt;/strong&gt;. In the 6 games played so far for the Rossoblù, Gianluca has racked up 3 goals, one every 2 games. The first was a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb-Jol-bIfo&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;turning shot that beat Provedal&lt;/a&gt;, an opening statement to the people of Sardinia. The second was a header against Udinese, whilst the third was an icy finish after a mazy run into the Salernitana box.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;216add66-b029-4b65-ac70-24dc1d91c79c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;216add66-b029-4b65-ac70-24dc1d91c79c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ad35b195-06cd-49d0-a39a-72a393cabd62/Sito_HERO_Gaetano.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;216add66-b029-4b65-ac70-24dc1d91c79c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;216add66-b029-4b65-ac70-24dc1d91c79c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Raised in the football school in Pontedera, &lt;strong&gt;Samuele Ricci&lt;/strong&gt; spent his final years of secondary school at &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt;, integrating into the senior side at just &lt;strong&gt;18&lt;/strong&gt;, in the 2019/20 season. Born in 2001, the midfielder immediately found faith in the club, ending his first season with the Azzurri with 30 appearances. His second season was in Serie B with Dionisi in the dugout, Samuele grew into the role of a midfielder down the left of a 3-man line, also improving his output up front with 2 goals and 4 assists. After 12 games with Empoli in the top flight, &lt;strong&gt;Torino &lt;/strong&gt;decided to bring Ricci in under Juric who adapted him to fit his 4-man midfield. The young Tuscan earned a spot in the Serbian coach’s set-up thanks to an &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBlbxM3lbDM&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;innate charisma that makes him seem like a veteran&lt;/a&gt; on the pitch. In 2 and a half years with the Granata, Ricci picked up 64 appearances in Serie A with 3 goals and 4 assists.

Rising up through the Nerazzurri youth ranks, the 2003-born player showed some notable &lt;strong&gt;goalscoring tendencies&lt;/strong&gt;, becoming one of the stars of the Interisti &lt;strong&gt;Primavera league&lt;/strong&gt; win in 2021/22 with 8 goals and 4 assists.

Il talento cristallino del trequartista portegno ha attirato anche l’attenzione della Selección argentina, intenzionata a non lasciarsi scappare un prospetto dal futuro roseo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having just turned 19, &lt;strong&gt;Valentin Carboni&lt;/strong&gt; is the youngest player on this list. Child of ex-Catania player, Ezequiel Carboni, he was born in Buenos Aires in 2005 and came up in the &lt;strong&gt;Inter youth sector&lt;/strong&gt; with his brother Franco, shining in Chivu’s Primavera side the year they won the title.
