After playing a half season for the Primavera team, he was loaned to Pisa of Serie C1 in the second half of 2004–05 season. De Falco returned to Primavera team on 1 July and finished as runners-up of Campionato Nazionale Primavera losing to Juventus 0–2.[3]

Pescara

De Falco was sold to Pescara (Serie B) in a co-ownership deal on 20 June 2006 for a peppercorn of five hundred euro,[4] joining Antonio Aquilanti.[5] In June 2007, Pescara bought De Falco outright by winning the auction between the club, for another five hundred euros.[6]

Chievo

De Falco was signed by Chievo in August 2007, for free.[7] However, he was immediately farmed to Taranto in another co-ownership deal, for a peppercorn of five hundred euro.[7] In June 2008 Chievo bought back De Falco for an undisclosed fee.

He returned to Ancona for the 2008/09 season, on loan along with Stefano Olivieri from Chievo.[8]

De Falco then spent 3 more seasons on loan, for Ancona again in 2009–10, Sassuolo in 2010–11 and Bari in 2011–12.[9] De Falco also played once for Chievo in 2011–12 Coppa Italia. Bari did not excised the option to sign De Falco in June 2012. However, the club did in August.
