Adriano praises Parma
The talented front-man, who has already began training with his new club, had kind words for his former team-mates and supporters.
''Before starting my adventure with Internazionale, I would like to thank Parma for everything they did for me,'' Adriano declared.
''I will never forget the supporters' affection and playing at Stadio Ennio Tardini will remain special and my heart will continue to thump Gialloblu colours.
''I want to thank the club, coach and my team-mates, who have made me what I am.
''I will never forget these beautiful and important people.''
The big Brazilian has chosen to take the revered number 10 shirt at Internazionale, left vacant since Ronaldo's departure.
Adriano appreciates that he will have to perform well if he is match the impressive levels set by his Brazilian team-mate.
''Ronnie is a phenomenon and I'm just starting out, but I must keep on learning,'' he added.
''But, if I do my job on and off the pitch, I think I'll be accepted.''
Internazionale's weekend clash at Modena may come too soon for Adriano, who is still suffering from a muscular injury, but coach Alberto Zaccheroni has yet to rule out his latest big-money buy.
