Early career

[edit]

Born in Monfalcone, Italy, Pizzignacco began his youth career at local club Staranzano, before joining Cjarlins Muzane in 2015 for two years.[2] In 2017, he joined Udinese's youth team where he was called-up to several 2017–18 Serie A games at the age of 16.[3]

Vicenza and loans

[edit]

In summer 2018, Pizzignacco moved to Vicenza. He signed his first professional contract with the club on 29 June 2020, for a term of three years.[4] On 1 October 2020, he was loaned to Serie C club Legnago.[5] He made his professional debut for Legnago on 4 October 2020 against Ravenna.[6] He became the first-choice goalkeeper there, playing 37 games in the season.[7]

Upon his return from loan, he made his Serie B debut for Vicenza on 21 August 2021 against Cittadella.[8] He played two more games in the 2021–22 season.[7] On 31 January 2022, Pizzignacco was loaned to Serie C club Renate,[9] where he completed the 2021–22 season.[7]

Feralpisalò

[edit]

On 14 July 2022, following Vicenza's relegation to Serie C, Pizzignacco officially joined fellow third-tier side Feralpisalò on a permanent deal, signing a three-year deal.[10][11] In his first season at the club, he helped Feralpisalò gain promotion to the Serie B. The following season, in 2023–24, he played all 38 games in the Serie B as a starter.[7]

Monza

[edit]

On 5 August 2024, Pizzignacco joined Serie A club Monza on a season-long loan, with an obligation to buy under certain conditions.[3][7] He made his debut for the club four days later, starting in a Coppa Italia match against Südtirol; in the occasion, he saved Mateusz Praszelik's penalty during the shoot-out, thus helping his side win and advance to the following round.[12][13]

International career

[edit]

On 6 September 2021, Pizzignacco made his debut for his country on junior level, in an under-20 team friendly against Serbia.[14] On 1 October 2021, he received his first call-up to the under-21 squad.[15]
