Club career
Born in Naples, Biancolino played for lower league clubs well into his 20s. He only appeared for a Serie B side in the 2000–01 season, playing only three months for Ancona.
After returning to Serie C1, Biancolino joined Avellino in January 2003 and helped the side return to the second level. However, after being sparingly used in the start of the 2003–04 season, he moved to fellow second-divisioner Venezia in January 2004. Biancolino remained in the second and third levels in the following seasons, representing former side Avellino, Messina (being his side's topscorer in his only season at the club), Juve Stabia and Cosenza.
In July 2012, 34-year-old Biancolino joined Serie D side Salerno Calcio. After a sole season with the side (also being topscorer), he moved to Avellino, after refusing to play for Salernitana.[2]
