context_page_description: Andrea Ranocchia is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Inter Milan and the Italian national team.
context_section_description: On 21 August 2007, he made his debut with the Italy U21 squad in a friendly match against France, replacing Fabiano Santacroce. He took part at the 2009 U-21 Championship, where the Italy under-21 side reached the semi-finals, only to be defeated by eventual champions Germany.
  He made his debut with the Italy senior team on 17 November 2010, in a friendly match against Romania, which ended in a 1–1 draw.
  Ranocchia was named to Cesare Prandelli's 32 and 25-man provisional squads for UEFA Euro 2012, but was excluded from the final 23-man squad.
  Ranocchia was later also included in Prandelli's 30-man provisional squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but not the final 23-man squad; however, he was one of the two Italian reserve players alongside Antonio Mirante who was kept on the standby list prior to the start of the competition, as a precaution, in case of injury to any of the squad's final players, following an injury scare to back-up goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu.
  Under Prandelli's successor, Antonio Conte, Ranocchia was called up for Italy's Euro 2016 qualifying matches in August 2015.
