Back to Juventus

In 2006, Juventus was moved down to Serie B, which is Italy's second-highest football league. Juventus bought back Paro's full contract from Siena. He made history by scoring Juventus' first-ever goal in Serie B. This happened during a 1-1 draw against Rimini on September 9, 2006.

Moving to Genoa

In the summer of 2007, Paro was transferred to Genoa. This was another shared ownership deal. At Genoa, he played again with his former teammate, Giuseppe Sculli. Juventus received more money for Paro in June 2008.

In July 2009, Paro joined Bari on a loan. Bari was a newly promoted team at the time. Several other players from Genoa also joined Bari on loan. On January 29, 2010, Bari loaned Paro to Piacenza.

Loan to Vicenza

In the summer of 2010, Paro went on loan to Vicenza. He returned to Vicenza for another temporary deal in the summer of 2011.
