Playing career

---

Sandro had a happy childhood in his quarter of Cinecittà, in Rome. He attended the primary school at "Margherita Bosco", where he first started playing football. Fernando, Alessandro's older brother, was advised to play a sport because of his back problem, and enrolled at the local football club. Young Alessandro threw a tantrum till his father gave in and he was enrolled as well, and so his career began. Alessandro Nesta was first discovered by Francesco Rocca (Currently U-17 coach for Italy) a scout for A.S. Roma but Nesta's father, a Lazio fan turned down the offer.'''

In 1985, he joined the youth academy of Lazio, where he rose through the ranks playing in various positions, including striker and midfielder. His international career first showed signs of growth when he played for the Italian national Under-15 and Under-16 sides. In 1993, he managed to join Lazio's first-team squad.
