In the summer of 2005, he left the [Primavera Youth Team](/source/Campionato_Nazionale_Primavera)[1] and joined [Serie C1](/source/Serie_C1) side [Napoli](/source/S.S.C._Napoli) in a four-year [co-ownership](/source/Co-ownership_(football)) deal, for a peppercorn fee of €500;[2] he won the league title with the club as an unused squad member, earning promotion to [Serie B](/source/Serie_B). In June 2006, he was bought back by Parma for €50,000[2] and became the club's third goalkeeper behind [Luca Bucci](/source/Luca_Bucci) and [Alfonso De Lucia](/source/Alfonso_De_Lucia). He made his single appearance for the club that season in the second leg of the [Coppa Italia](/source/2006%E2%80%9307_Coppa_Italia) quarter-final, in which Parma drew 2–2 with [A.S.

In the summer of 2012 he left [Ternana Calcio](/source/Ternana_Calcio) and joined [Botev Vratsa](/source/POFC_Botev_Vratsa) in the Bulgarian Second Division, but he never played for the club, and in March 2013 he returned in Italy to play with [Narnese](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Narnese_Calcio&action=edit&redlink=1). ## International career Virgili was an unused member of [Italy U20 team](/source/Italy_national_under-20_football_team) at [2005 FIFA World Youth Championship](/source/2005_FIFA_World_Youth_Championship).
