Biography
In 1998, he was co-signed by Lazio and Empoli.[1] In 1999, he joined Piacenza along with Flavio Roma[2] and Stefano Di Fiordo to Piacenza as part of Simone Inzaghi's deal. That month Piacenza also signed Empoli team-mate Arturo Di Napoli.
In January 2001, he joined Venezia, re-joined Di Napoli. He was loaned back to Cosenza in January 2002.[3]

In summer 2003, he was loaned to Serie A side Chievo along with Mario Santana, with Eugenio Corini moved to opposite direction. On 1 July 2004, he returned to Palermo, which the team won Serie B and promoted to the Italian top division in June 2004.
Livorno
In July 2005, he was sold to Serie A side Livorno[4] for €500,000.[5]
Parma
In summer 2007, he changed his club with Alfonso De Lucia.[6]
In 2009–10 season, he was the starting central midfielder in 352 formation,[7] or 433 formation.[8] partnered mainly with Daniele Galloppa, Blerim Džemaili (until February), Francesco Valiani (since February as left midfielder) and Luis Jiménez (since February as attacking midfielder). He only played as substitute in round 5, suspended in round 19[9] and round 29.[10] Since April, Morrone was rested due to injury.[11] He was also the team captain. On 5 May, he was returned from training[12] and played the match against Juventus on 9 May, which he was recovered in-time to replace Džemaili who suspended.[13]
Morrone had a more injury-free season in 2010–11 and missed just four games as he captained the club to Serie A safety, but the Italian lost his place in the side towards the end of the following season under new coach Roberto Donadoni.[citation needed]
