Carlo Nervo (born 29 October 1971 in Vicenza) is an Italian professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Following his retirement, he began a career in politics.

Playing career

Club

Originally from Solagna, Nervo began his career with the G.S.R. Solagna Youth System, before moving to Bassano Virtus, where he made his professional debut in 1988 after developing further in the club's Youth System. After brief periods with Monza and Cittadella, he moved to Mantova in 1992, spending two seasons with the club.[1]

In 1994, Nervo was signed by Bologna, the club with which he would spend most of his career; in total, he remained at the club for 11 seasons, making his debut during the 1994–95 season, and demonstrating his adeptness as a winger due to his work-rate and eye for goal. Nervo played a key role in helping Bologna win consecutive Serie C1 and Serie B titles, also gaining Serie A promotion with the club, and helping the club to qualify for the UEFA Cup. After a brief loan stint with Catanzaro during the 2005–06 season, Nervo finished his professional career with Bologna during the 2006–07 season, retiring in 2007. With 417 appearances in official competitions with Bologna, he is the club's third highest appearance holder, behind Giacomo Bulgarelli and Tazio Roversi.[1][2]

In February 2008, Nervo came out of retirement to play football in the lower divisions, for Virgilio, and Padania. During the 2008–09 season, he played with Rolo, officially retiring from football at the end of the season.[1]

International

Nervo also played for the Italian national side, making six appearances under manager Giovanni Trapattoni between 2002 and 2004. He made his international debut in a friendly match on 20 November 2002, in a 1–1 home draw against Turkey, in Pescara.[3]
