Giuseppe "Pino" Taglialatela[1] (born 2 January 1969) is an Italian former professional football player who played as a goalkeeper.
He was promoted to the first team during the 1987–88 season, as the club's third-choice keeper, behind Claudio Garella and Raffaele Di Rusco, without making an appearance in a game.
After three loan spells at Serie B sides Palermo, Ternana, and Bari, he returned to Napoli in 1993, following Giovanni Galli's transfer to Torino, and played for the club for six years, until 1999.
[1][2] In 2001, Taglialatela moved to Fiorentina for 5 billion lire in a co-ownership deal (€2.582 million),[7] where he played as understudy to Francesco Toldo, and later Alexander Manninger.
He has also stopped the joint–ninth–most penalties in Serie A history, alongside Emiliano Viviano, Luigi Turci, and Massimo Taibi.
