Club career

[edit]

Vicenza

[edit]

Born in Motta di Livenza, in the Veneto region, Benedetti started his career at the Veneto club Vicenza Calcio. In May 2013, he received a call-up from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for a youth tournament composed of Italian under-16 players.[1] He was assigned to Team C along with fellow Vicenza defender Simone Romio and future Vicenza teammate Luigi Rizzo (who was signed in January 2015).[2] The tournament also served as the kickoff event for the Italy national under-17 football team for the 2013–14 season. However, Benedetti earned a transfer to a higher division after the tournament, but failed to earn any national team call-ups.

In summer 2013, Benedetti was signed by the youth team of Serie A club Genoa in a temporary deal with an option to purchase.[3] At the same time, Vicenza signed Alberto Marchiori from Genoa also in a temporary deal, with an option to purchase.[3] The loan was renewed on 30 July 2014.[4] Benedetti was the member of Genoa's under-17 youth team in the first season and the under-19 reserves in the second season.[5]

Torino

[edit]

In the summer of 2015, shortly after he returned from Genoa, Benedetti was signed by another Serie A club, Torino, in a definitive deal for a €30,000 transfer fee[6] on a 3-year contract.[7] Benedetti spent 1+1⁄2 seasons with Torino's reserves, with the last 6 months as an overage player. He also participated in the 2015–16 UEFA Youth League for the Turin-based club.[8]

Benedetti left for Lega Pro club Taranto on 1 February 2017.[9][10] Benedetti made his professional debut against Melfi on 23 April, as one of the starting defenders.[11]

On 4 August 2017 Benedetti joined Carrarese.[12]

Pro Vercelli

[edit]

On 2 September 2019, he joined Pro Vercelli.[13]

Liventina

[edit]

On 30 July 2021, he joined Eccellenza club ASD Liventina.[14]
