Career
Born in Fiorentino, San Marino, Vitaioli has represented three clubs on a permanent basis: San Marino Calcio, F.C. Fiorentino and Sammaurese, and has played for four clubs on loan: Empoli (although he failed to make a single league appearance in the second half of 2005–06 Serie A), ASD Cagliese, Real Montecchio and P.D. Castellarano.[1]
He is considered to be one of the most promising young talents in the San Marino national football team, often regarded as a key member of the squad, partnering Andy Selva and Nicola Ciacci in a three-pronged San Marino attack.
He has won 39 caps to date and scored his first goal on 8 September 2015, in a European Championship qualifier away to Lithuania. It was San Marino's first away goal in 14 years.
As of 30 December 2012, in the domestic leagues, Vitaioli has scored 9 goals in 97 games.
He wears the number 11 shirt for both club and country.[2]
