Cristian Molinaro - Early Years

Early Years

Molinaro was born in Vallo della Lucania to Emilio, who is a high school P.E. teacher, and Franca, who is an elementary school teacher. He was raised in Moio della Civitella, near Salerno. Molinaro has two brothers, both of them older than he is: Bartolomeo, a chartered accountant, and Angelo, a humanities teacher. Molinaro has a surveyor diploma and naturally his favourite subjects at school were humanities. He began playing football at age five in the Gelbison team. He generally played as a left winger in that period. When he joined Salernitana's youth academy, he was moved to left-back.
