Domenico Criscito (Italian pronunciation: [doˈmeniko ˈkriʃʃito]; born in Cèrcola, province of Napoli, Campania, on December 30, 1986), is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Russian Premier League club Zenit Saint Petersburg. He is a versatile defender who started his career as a centre back but now usually plays at left back.
A native of southern Italy, Criscito moved up north at age 13 to pursue his football career. He started his professional career at Genoa, for whom he made his debut in Serie B in June 2003 at the age of 16. In the summer of 2004, Genoa sold 50% of his contract to Juventus for €950K (€500K + co-ownership of Nocerino's contract). Teammate Francesco Volpe also joined the club for €950K in a co-ownership deal.
Criscito played for Juventus's Primavera team alongside Italy U-21 teammates Claudio Marchisio, Paolo De Ceglie and Sebastian Giovinco, and together they won the 2006 Campionato Primavera. In the 2006–07 season, he returned to Genoa and established himself as one of the top young defenders in Serie B. In January, Juventus bought the remaining 50% of his contract for a combined price of €7.5 million. This was paid by the co-ownership of Masiello and Konko to Genoa, and €5.25 million. He also signed a new contract with Juventus that would last until June 30, 2011.
