He started his professional career with Juventus F.C., with whom he played three Serie A games.
He successively joined Vicenza of Serie B, where he played a total 35 matches. He then moved to Torino F.C. for a short time, playing 16 games in the top flight before returning at Vicenza, and then moving to Venezia, where he spent three impressive seasons.
After a short period with Bologna, Dal Canto returned again at Vicenza, where he also had the chance to establish himself at the European level.
The defender was one of the first Italian to play in Eastern Europe, specifically in Russia with Uralan Elista in 2003. This was followed by a fourth and final comeback at Vicenza, with 11 appearances. He then played at Serie B and Serie C1 level with Catanzaro, Perugia, AlbinoLeffe and Treviso.
He was also part of the Padania football selection in the VIVA World Cup 2008.
After retiring as a footballer, Dal Canto took over at Padova, becoming the club's new under-19 youth coach.[1] On 15 March 2011 Dal Canto was appointed temporary head coach of Padova, following the dismissal of head coach Alessandro Calori.[2] In his first game in charge of the first team, he guided Padova to its first away win of the season, defeating Pescara 2–0.[3] Club chairman Marcello Cestaro successively confirmed him as Padova head coach until the end of the season.[4]
