Club career

Early career

Born in Gallarate, Piovaccari graduated from Pro Patria's youth setup, and made his debuts while on loan at Serie D side Castellettese. In the summer of 2003, he joined Internazionale, being assigned to the Primavera squad.

In 2004, Piovaccari was loaned to Vittoria, and scored ten goals for the club in Serie C1. In July 2005, he was loaned to Treviso of Serie B, but after the latter's promotion to Serie A due to Caso Genoa, he moved to San Marino Calcio in the third level, also in a temporary deal.

Treviso; Ravenna

After a loan spell at second-tier Triestina, Piovaccari returned to Treviso, now in a co-ownership deal. In July 2009, the free agent signed a two-year deal with Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Ravenna after Treviso's bankruptcy, as a replacement to Pescara-bound Francesco Zizzari.[1]

Piovaccari scored in his debut for the club on 3 August 2009, netting the winner of a 3–2 win against Giulianova, in that season's Coppa Italia.[2] He was the team top-scorer in the campaign, scoring 14 goals and appearing in 30 matches in the league, as the Giallorossi narrowly avoided relegation.

Piovaccari was also top goalscorer in the 2010–11 campaign, scoring 23 league goals.

On 24 June 2011, Cittadella bought Piovaccari's remaining registration rights for €880,000.[3][5]

During the 2012 financial year, Piovaccari also signed a new contract which last until 30 June 2016.[8]

On 19 August 2014, Piovaccari was loaned to Spanish side Eibar, newly promoted to La Liga.[12] He made his debut for the club on 24 August, replacing Ander Capa in the dying minutes of a 1–0 home win against Real Sociedad.[13] On 1 July 2015, Piovaccari was released by Sampdoria.[14]
