Club career
Early career
Born in Gallarate, Piovaccari graduated from Pro Patria's youth setup, and made his debuts while on loan at Serie D side Castellettese. In the summer of 2003, he joined Internazionale, being assigned to the Primavera squad.

After a loan spell at second division's Triestina, Piovaccari returned to Treviso, now in a co-ownership deal. In July 2009, the free agent signed a two-year deal with Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Ravenna after Treviso's bankruptcy, as a replacement to Pescara-bound Francesco Zizzari.[1]
Piovaccari scored in his debut for the club on 3 August 2009, netting the winner of a 3–2 win against Giulianova, for the campaign's Coppa Italia.[2] He was the team top-scorer in the campaign, scoring 14 goals and appearing in 30 matches in the league, as the Giallorossi narrowly avoided relegation.

Piovaccari was also top goalscorer in the 2010–11 campaign, scoring 23 league goals.
On 24 June 2011, Cittadella bought Piovaccari's remaining registration rights for €880,000.[3][5]
Sampdoria

During the 2012 financial year, Piovaccari also signed a new contract which last until 30 June 2016.[8]
After returning to Sampdoria, Piovaccari was loaned out again to Novara,[9] and subsequently served another temporary deal at Grosseto,[10] featuring regularly with the latter.
Steaua București (loan)

On 24 July, Piovaccari scored his first goal for Steaua, in a 2–1 second leg win against Vardar Skopje in the campaign's UEFA Champions League qualifiers. He scored 16 goals during the campaign, winning the Liga I and the Supercupa României.
Eibar (loan)
On 19 August 2014, Piovaccari was loaned to Spanish side Eibar, newly promoted to La Liga.[12] He made his debut for the club on 24 August, replacing Ander Capa in the dying minutes of a 1–0 home win against Real Sociedad.[13] On 1 July 2015, Piovaccari was released by Sampdoria.[14]
