[edit] Early Years

Campagnolo started his career off in the early 1990s playing for the Cittadella youth squad, before moving to the senior squad in 1995. He would remain with Cittadella until 1997, when he transferred to A.S. Roma in the Italian Serie A. Roma considered the young Campagnolo to be a very promising young goalkeeper and held on to their man until 2000. After not making even a single appearance for the capital club he transferred to Genoa CFC. He only managed to 4 appearances with the Ligurian side after 2 seasons and was thus sold to Vicenza. In Vicenza, the Italian keeper again found it hard to break into the starting eleven and after one season, he again was sold.

[edit] Triestina and Cagliari

After a disappointing start to his career, Campagnolo moved from Vicenza Calcio to Triestina in 2003. He remained in Trieste until 2005, and finally broke into the starting XI. In those two seasons with Triestina, Campagnolo made 48 total appearances. After some impressive performances with the club he was sold to Serie A side Cagliari Calcio. Despite having plenty of potential, he was not a consistent starter and after a season in Sardinia he was sold to Reggina Calcio after making just eleven starts with Cagliari.

[edit] Reggina

After small stints with 6 different clubs already in his career, Campagnolo moved to another Serie A side, Reggina Calcio in July 2006. He moved to Calabria as a second choice goalkeeper, but following the sales of Ivan Pelizzoli to Lokomotiv Moscow and Nicola Pavarini to US Lecce in January 2007, he became the first choice goalkeeper. He even managed to hold on to his place and in total, Campagnolo made 92 appearances for the southern Italian club, but in 2009 was unable to help his side avoid relegation to the Italian Serie B, following a seven year stint in the top flight of Italian football. He was one of many players likely to be sold following the clubs relegation.

[edit] Calcio Catania

On 6 June 2009, it was confirmed that Andrea Campagnolo had signed for Sicilian giants, Calcio Catania, another Serie A club. The club have signed the goalkeeper from Reggina Calcio until 30 June 2012, as a reserve to Argentine international keeper Mariano Andujar. [1] But he was fined by Lega Calcio due to unrespect the contract with Reggina Calcio for the transfer statement.[2]
