Professional career

De Nicolao progressed through the youth ranks of Pallacanestro Vigodarzere (with stints at Virtus Padova and Petrarca Padova), a team coached by his father. Moving to Benetton Treviso in 2008, he won the under-19 national title with the side at the end of his first season.

The youngster was then loaned to lower league side Lago Maggiore the next season, returning in 2011. His second season with Treviso saw him collect 16.5 minutes of playing time per game, for 3.5 points and 1.1 assist. De Nicolao moved to fellow Serie A side Cimberio Varese in 2012, gradually increasing his minutes and statistical output over the next two seasons, he was nominated for the Serie A best player under 22 award for 2012-13, finishing third. [2] After a season in the second division Serie A2 with Tezenis Verona, posting 10.3 points and a league-best 6.4 assists per game, De Nicolao joined Grissin Bon Reggio Emilia in 2015. [3]

In May 2018, De Nicolao won the FIBA Europe Cup championship with Reyer Venezia. [4] He re-signed with Reyer Venezia for two seasons with a third year option on June 18, 2020. [5]
