Gabriel Alejandro Paletta (Italian: [pa'letta]; born 15 February 1986) is an footballer who plays as a defender for Serie C club Monza. Paletta is capable of playing as a centre-back in both a three or four-man defence.
He is good in possession and an attentive man-marker, although he is primarily known for his composure, aerial ability and heading accuracy; he has also drawn some criticism at times for being inconsistent, error-prone, and excessively aggressive when tackling, which led to unnecessary bookings and expulsions on numerous occasions.Born in Argentina to parents of Italian descent, Paletta represented his birth nation at the under-20 level, participating in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands.
He started all seven matches as Argentina won the title.
In 2014, Paletta was called up to the Italy national team and made his debut in a friendly against Spain.
He represented Italy at the FIFA World Cup later that year.
