Scannapieco began his career in 1992 within the Planning and Strategic Control Department of Telecom Italia.[4][5] Three years later, he joined the Council of Experts of the Italian Ministry of Treasure.[3] From 2002 to 2007, he was general director of Finance and Privatizations of the Department of Treasury of the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance.[6][7]

Additionally, Draghi selected him as this state lender institution's leader, a position described in the same outlet as "one of Italy’s highest-profile corporate posts".[13][14] As Giorgia Meloni assumed power in late 2022, he was discussed among political observers as a potential technocratic cabinet member – minister of finance,[15] a position that was subsequently occupied by Lega Nord politician Giancarlo Giorgetti.
