Alberto Fontana (footballer, born 1974)

Alberto Maria Fontana (born 2 December 1974) is an Italian retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

He met the same fate at his new club Palermo (Roma's farm team at that time), to Vincenzo Sicignano.

In June 2002, Fontana joined Torino of the top division in a co-ownership deal, in exchange with Gabriele Paoletti.

During his seven-year stint, the longest of his career, he played second-fiddle to Luca Bucci, Stefano Sorrentino, Massimo Taibi, Christian Abbiati and Matteo Sereni.

In summer 2009, 35-year-old Fontana was released by Toro and joined Novara in division three, where he again was second-choice, now to Albania's Samir Ujkani.
