Marco Bortolami


Player Pic

Name: Marco Bortolami

DOB: 12/06/80

Position(s): Second Row

Bio: Italy's captain at the age of just 25, Marco Bortolami has long been highly thought of not just in the Italian set-up but in the rugby world as a whole. Since making his international debut in June 2001 against Namibia, the lock has won over 40 caps and took over the permanent captaincy from the legendary Alessandro Troncon in June 2004 having become the youngest player to skipper the Azzurri at just 22. Bortolami is a formidable operator with a maturity that belies his years. Strong at the set-piece and in the loose, the 0man never gives less than 100% and will look to give Gloucester the go-forward they need to free their backs.
