He earned 10 caps and scored 2 goals for the Italy national football team from 1989 to 1990, and was included in the 1990 FIFA World Cup squad when Italy finished third on home soil. Carnevale was a regular starter for the Italians in the run up to the tournament in friendlies and appeared in Italy's first two games.
