Born in Montevarchi, Tuscany region, Venuti started his career at Tuscan club Fiorentina. On 30 July 2014 Venuti was signed by Serie B club Pescara in a temporary deal, with an option to sign him outright.[2] Venuti was awarded no. 23 shirt of the first team.[3] However, Venuti only able to play for their reserve team as an overage player.

Two days after his professional debut, Venuti received his first Under-21 team call-up from Luigi Di Biagio.[9] He made his debut against Hungary as the substitute of Conti.[10] On 5 November Venuti received his first Under-20 team call-up from Alberigo Evani.[11]

Venuti played twice in 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification. Venuti and Somma were in the starting line-up in the second match, replacing defenders Berra and Romagnoli.
