Gianluca Festa (born March 15, 1969 in Cagliari) is an Italian football defender.
Festa played with several notable teams, including Internazionale, AS Roma and Middlesbrough F.C., being one of the first Italians to play in the English Premier League. In 2003 he returned in his native Sardinia, joining Cagliari and helping the rossoblu to win promotion to Serie A. In 2004 he joined then-Eccellenza side F.C. Nuorese Calcio, serving as team captain and leading the club to two consecutive promotions and an unsuccessful appearance in the Serie C2 campaign playoffs in his third season. He agreed to leave Nuorese by mutual consent on September 2007.[1] He then signed for Tavolara of Serie D, coached by his former teammate Vittorio Pusceddu.[2]
