Antonio Piccolo (born 7 April 1988) is an Italian footballer who plays for Serie B club Livorno.
Born in Naples, Campania, Piccolo started his career at Campania club Salernitana Sport. After the club went bankrupt in 2005, he was signed by Serie B club Piacenza. Despite young age, he made his Serie B debut on 8 April 2006 (round 36). He substituted Daniele Degano in added time. That match Piacenza won Brescia 3–1. He played his first start on round 40 (3rd round counted from bottom) which he was replaced by Degano at second half. That match Piacenza lost to Triestina 3–4. He wore no.18 shirt from 2005 to 2008, no.19 in 2009–10 Serie B and no.23 in the current season.
He was loaned to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Foggia on 1 September 2008.[1] On 1 July 2009, he returned to Piacenza and made a few substitute appearances. However he was injured, trained separately and returned to the team in March.[2] Piccolo played his first start of the 2010–11 Serie B season on 16 October 2010, as on of the forwards in a 4–3–2–1 formation, partnering with central forward Daniele Cacia and supportive striker Mattia Graffiedi. In that match Piacenza defeated Crotone with the winning goal of Piccolo.[3]
