In 2010-11, there were many Serie A stars who saw their shining light fadeaway, but many more who proved that their talents still burn bright. While champions Inter suffered collectively with few exceptions, there were stand-out performers among all of the top half-dozen sides.
Celebrated new signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robinho joined team-mate Alexandre Pato on 14 goals for the season as AC Milan clinched the title, while Samuel Eto'o continued to impress for the former champions. Napoli clinched a Champions League spot thanks in part to the performances of the likes of Ezequiel Lavezzi and ChristianMaggio, and Udinese took fourth as Alexis Sanchez grabbed headlines and attention across Europe. Lazio and Roma will be in the Europa League next season, and they will have the displays of Anderson Hernanes and Francesco Totti respectively to thank for their participation on the continent.
Below are Goal.com's three nominees for Serie A Player of the Season in alphabetical order. We then cast our vote at the bottom before leaving it up to you, the readers, to have your say.
1. EDINSON CAVANI | Striker
Age: 24
Appearances: 35
Goals/Assists: 26/6
Cards:
61
Cavani arrived in Italy in January 2007 when Palermo snapped him up from Danubio, and after three-and-a-half years of loyal service in Sicily he made the move to Napoli last summer looking to give his career the kick it needed to become a big star. Twelve months on, the Uruguayan is one of the most spoken-about strikers in Europe.
His haul of 26 league goals was the main reason behind the Vesuviani's elevation from nearly men to Champions League competitors, as he fed superbly off the intelligent play of Lavezzi and Marek Hamsik to chalk up three hat-tricks and four braces. With his movement in behind defences proving almost impossible to counteract, he earned a permanent stay, a five-year contract, and the attention of several top clubs.
2. ANTONIO DI NATALE | Striker
Age: 33
Appearances:
36
Goals/Assists: 28/7
Cards:
3
In his first five years in Udine, Di Natale chalked up 57 goals as he largely played as a second striker, tasked with using his individual skill and intelligent running for the betterment of the side. But in the last two Serie A campaigns the Neapolitan has exploded, doubling his club tally to become capocannoniere in successive seasons.
Leading an Udinese side who reached the Champions League play-off spot, he notched three hat-tricks amongst his 28 league goals, but they only tell part of the story behind his contribution to the cause. His ability to pull markers away from their central positions helped to open up many an opportunity for team-mates, as Di Natale revelled whether playing off a front man or leading the line himself.
3. THIAGO SILVA | DefenderAge: 26 Appearances: 33
Goals/Assists: 1/1
Cards:
1
Quite possibly the best defender in the world today, ThiagoSilva turned in an excellent maiden campaign in the peninsula in 2009-10 and got even better this term. The Brazilian provided therock around which Milan's superb defence was built as they conceded only 24 goals all season - 15 less than any other team in the league.
With an ability to read the play like nobody else in the modern game, he has showcased his superb aerial ability, two good feet, strength, anticipation and positioning at grounds all over the country, almost without fail. And so good is he that he carries out all of this almost entirely free of foul means, picking up only a single booking in the entire season. Truly one of a kind in 21st century football.
GOAL.COM'S SERIE A PLAYER OF THE SEASON
- Thiago Silva -
In five words:
Amazing anticipation, league-winning rock
Season highlight:
Snuffed out Inter home and away as Milan grabbed the initiative in the title race, with his showing in the 10-man win in November particularly excellent.

Palermo owner Maurizio Zamparini has confirmed Javier Pastore could be on his way out of the cub this summer. Argentina international Pastore, 21, has been linked with a number of clubs around Europe and his agent, Marcelo Simonian, said earlier this month: "I cannot confirm 100% that Javier Pastore will continue at Palermo. Every player has a price and we know that several clubs are interested in him."
Zamparini has now confirmed that he could cash in on Pastore, having previously valued the player at €60 million.
"Pastore is the only player who could leave," he told Radio Radio. "It all depends on the boy. He earns less than €1 million and if a big club offered him €4 million then it would be hard to keep him. Palermo can't afford that and we have to balance the books."
Zamparini has claimed AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona all want Pastore, and that one of the Italian clubs have already made a direct enquiry. Manchester United and Liverpool have also been linked with the player.

Bayern Munich striker Miroslav Klose has revealed he is seriously considering a move to Lazio. Klose, 33, is out of contract this summer and, having seen a move to Lazio fall through in January, he appears keen to complete a free transfer this month.
"Let's say that I am evaluating some offers and Lazio are among them," Klose told Golmania. "My wife and I have been to Rome on vacation and it is a fantastic city. The food is wonderful, too. I was close to Lazio in January, but Bayern wanted money that they weren't prepared to pay. Now I am in charge of my own destiny. I tracked their progress and they have a very solid squad including Mauro Zarate, Hernanes, Cristian Ledesma and Andre Dias. I also like the club colours, as there is a lot of joy around the club and that means a lot to me. I need to talk to the Lazio directors, but can tell the fans that if I do come, then I won't let you down. I am very enthusiastic, I work very hard and never give in. My shirt is always wet through with sweat at the final whistle."
Klose remains an important player for the German national team and feels he is capable of proving himself in a new league.
"I was no longer part of their plans, but I want to e a protagonist with the German team, so I need to play more regularly," he said. "I do not feel remotely old at 33. If anything, I am very motivated at the idea of starting again in a new environment."
