Sergio Parisse (12 September 1983, in La Plata, Argentina) is an Italian rugby union rugby player.
His father, Sergio senior, was a winger for L'Aquila Rugby before moving to La Plata in Argentina, where Sergio junior was born.
The young Parisse was handed a baptism of fire when he made his Italy debut in a 64-30 thrashing by New Zealand in 2002 but the number eight quickly established himself as one of Italy's key players and today is one the finest ball carriers around.
He represented the Azzurri in the 2003 Six Nations and that year's World Cup but saw his international progress set back by a serious thigh injury sustained in the 2004 Six Nations match against Scotland that ruled him out of action for most of the year. In that season the young talanted back-rower joined the Bergamasco brothers at French Stade Français Paris.
Parisse was named as captain of the Azzurri for the 2008 6 Nations campaign.
He is currently dating Miss France 2006 & Miss Europe 2006 Alexandra Rosenfeld.
