He began his career in the U.S. Consalvo, a small team from the Quadraro district in Rome before moving first to Lodigiani and then to S.S. Lazio. He never played for Lazio in the Serie A.

Then he moved to Ravenna Calcio, where he became a first-choice player and with whom he played for three seasons, and then to Bologna F.C. 1909 in 1998. In 1999, moved to A.S. Roma, which conquered the championship in 2001.
