From the Green Island to the Dolomites: Serie C awaits Samuele Desiato

It's not every day that a 2007-born player manages to leave such a profound mark on the world of football. But Samuele Desiato has always done things his own way, cutting corners and rewriting the rules. And now, after dazzling the Mazzella crowd wearing the yellow-and-blue jersey of Ischia, he's ready for a new, fascinating professional adventure with another yellow-and-blue team: Trento, which plays in Serie C.

The common thread? Those very colors that, from South to North, seem to accompany his footballing destiny. A symbolic yet tangible transition, testifying to the growth of a young man who has managed to stand out, impress, and now deserve a chance at the big leagues.

Having arrived in Ischia last November, Samuele didn't take long to attract attention. In a far from tender Serie D Group H, he displayed the courage, quality, and personality of a veteran. Eighteen appearances and a crucial goal—the one against Casarano, later promoted to Serie C—speak of a young man who is "overage" only in terms of age, because on the pitch he earned the respect of far more experienced opponents.

Samuel's arrival in Serie C is certainly a cause for celebration in the Desiato household. A well-deserved celebration. And for his father, Gigi, who excelled in the Eccellenza and Promozione leagues with Ischia, Lacco Ameno, and Forio, it's, in a way, a dream come true. A footballing legacy that is renewed and taking shape in professional football, with a son who today carries that dream forward, with the same spirit and a quality that gives us hope.

His talent, his eye for goal, and above all his precocious professionalism have convinced Trento to bet on him. And it's not just a gamble, but a clear technical project: to bring promising young players into a competitive and structured environment, to build a solid future.

The Trentino yellow-blues, led by coach Luca Tabbiani, welcome him with the ambition of someone who wants not only to participate but to grow, day after day. And Desiato, with his desire to learn and his fighting spirit, has all the credentials to carve out a niche for himself even in a professional context.

The chromatic connection between Ischia and Trento is more than a curiosity. It's almost a symbolic continuity. From a volcanic island that thrives on passion and grassroots football, to a city nestled in the mountains where football represents a source of local pride: in both places, Samuele has found—and will find—warmth, expectations, and the opportunity to make his mark.

And who knows, maybe one day, looking back, we'll talk about that kid who started out on the pitches of Serie D, with the Ischia jersey on his back and a dream at his feet, and who grew up in the ranks of Trento. For now, it's time to work, learn, and grow. But with talent like that, and a burning desire within, the future truly seems to have begun. In yellow and blue, of course.
