Career

A.C. Milan

Born in Badia Polesine, Veneto, Piccolo started his career at Veneto club Padova, about 50 km from his birthplace. In September 2002, he joined Milan youth teams. He played his first and only match for A.C. Milan's first team on 24 May 2003, the last Serie A match of the season and the match before the 2003 UEFA Champions League Final and 2003 Coppa Italia Final. In the match, he partnered with Alessandro Matri, and neither one scored. The match ended with a 2-4 loss to Piacenza as Milan almost rested all the regular starters.[1]

In the next season, he played all the time at Primavera (U20) Team and did not play in the first team. In the 2004-05 season, he left on loan to Prato of Serie C1 along with Matri but in mid-season joined Pizzighettone at Serie C2.

He played 28 league matches and scored 6 goals in the 2005–06 Serie C1 season, and the club decided to sign him in a co-ownership deal in 2006, for a peppercorn fee of €1,000.[2] In 2006-07 season, Piccolo only played 8 league matches. After the club was relegated back to Serie C2 at the end of the season, the club signed him permanently from Milan. Piccolo then played 42 league matches in two seasons and followed the club as it was relegated to Serie D (non-professional) in 2009.
