Early life
Filippo Distefano was born in Camaiore, a town in the Tuscan Province of Lucca, where he started to play football, at the club of Torre del Lago.[2][3]
Club career
Distefano first joined US Livorno – that was then playing in Serie A under Davide Nicola – where he spent 3 years, before joining the youth sector of ACF Fiorentina.[3] First playing with the Primavera team, he was part of the squads who won the Coppa Italia Primavera in 2020 and 2021.[2][3][4]
Having first been called to the first team by Vincenzo Italiano for the 20 November 2021 Serie A game against AC Milan,[5] the young forward eventually made his professional debut for Fiorentina 10 days later, replacing José Callejón in the last minutes of a 3–1 Serie A home win against Sampdoria.[6][7]
