Club career

He was used as a back-up goalkeeper in some 2017–18 Serie A games by Udinese, at the age of 16, but did not appear on the field.[1]

Before the 2018–19 season, he moved to Vicenza. He signed his first professional contract with the club on 29 June 2020, for a term of three years.[2] On 1 October 2020, he was loaned to Serie C club Legnago.[3] He made his professional debut for Legnago on 4 October 2020 against Ravenna.[4] He became the first-choice goalkeeper there, playing 37 games in the season.

Upon his return from loan, he made his Serie B debut for Vicenza on 21 August 2021 against Cittadella.[5] He soon moved back to the bench in favour of Matteo Grandi.

On 31 January 2022, Pizzignacco was loaned to Serie C club Renate,[6] where he completed the 2021-22 season.

On 14 July 2022, following Vicenza's relegation to Serie C, the keeper officially joined fellow third-tier side Feralpisalò on a permanent deal, signing a three-year deal.[7][8]

International career

On 6 September 2021, he made his debut for his country on junior level, in an Under-20 team friendly against Serbia.[9]

On 1 October 2021, he received his first call-up to the Under-21 squad.[10]
