Lupatelli was born in Perugia. He won a scudetto while playing for A.S. Roma in season 2000–01. A Roma youth product, Lupatelli was farmed to Chievo for the 2001–02 and 2002–03 seasons, after he played just 12 Serie A games for the capital club, wearing the number 10 jersey, despite being a goalkeeper, [2] because of a bet he made with friends. [3] He was sold to Chievo for 3 billion Italian lire in a co-ownership deal in 2002. [4] In the 2003–04 season, he returned to Roma for €900,000, [5] as the backup of Ivan Pelizzoli.

Lupatelli featured regularly for the Fiorentina first team in the 2004–05 season, but after the arrival of Sébastien Frey in 2005, Bogdan Lobonţ in the 2006–07 season, and Vlada Avramov in 2007, he became the club's third choice keeper, and was loaned out to Parma during 2005–06 season for part of Frey's deal.
Whilst on loan at Parma F.C., he was exchanged with Matteo Guardalben mid-season.
In September 2008, he joined Cagliari on a free transfer, [7] acting as a deputy to Federico Marchetti.
He was set to become a free agent on 1 July 2010, and was not called up to the club's 2010–11 pre-season training camp. [8] During the 2010–11 summer transfer window, he joined Bologna on a free transfer, as Emiliano Viviano's backup.

Massimo Gobbi is an Italian retired footballer who played as a defender or as a midfielder.
The 2008–09 Serie A was the 107th season of top-tier Italian football, the 77th in a round-robin tournament. It began on 30 August 2008 and ended on 31 May 2009, with the announcement of the list of fixtures made on 25 July 2008. 20 teams competed in the league, 17 of which returned from the previous season, and three were promoted from 2007–08 Serie B.
The 2009–10 season was Juventus Football Club's 112th in existence and third consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.
The 2009–10 season was ACF Fiorentina's 84th season in Italian football in their existence and their 72nd season in the first-tier of Italian football, Serie A. Having finished fourth the previous season ahead of Genoa, La Viola earned qualification into the UEFA Champions League for the second year in a row.
The 2009–10 Udinese Calcio season was the club's 15th consecutive and 30th overall season in Serie A. The team competed in Serie A, finishing 15th, and in the Coppa Italia, reaching the semi-finals. The highlight of Udinese's season was captain Antonio Di Natale's excellent campaign, as he finished top scorer in Serie A, or capocannoniere, with 29 goals.
The 2009–10 season was Associazione Sportiva Roma's 77th season in Serie A. The club competed in Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the UEFA Europa League. Roma finished second in Serie A with 80 points, two points behind Inter.
The 2010–11 Serie A was the 109th season of top-tier Italian football, the 79th in a round-robin tournament, and the 1st since its organization under a league committee separate from Serie B. It began on 28 August 2010 and ended on 22 May 2011. Internazionale were the defending champions.
The 2010–11 season was Udinese Calcio's 16th consecutive and 31st Serie A season. The club competed in both Serie A and the Coppa Italia. Udinese finished in fourth place to qualify for the play-off round of the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League.
The 2010–11 season was ACF Fiorentina's 85th season in Italian football and their 73rd season in the first-tier, Serie A. This was also the sixth consecutive season for the club in the top-level division of the Italian football league system.
ACF Fiorentina returned to Serie A, following a two-year absence after the bankruptcy of the previous incarnation of the club. Fiorentina returned only due to the expansion in terms of the number of top-league teams, and therefore had to significantly strengthen the squad in pre-season. Dario Dainelli, Giorgio Chiellini, Hidetoshi Nakata, Fabrizio Miccoli, Martin Jørgensen, goalkeeper Cristiano Lupatelli, Enzo Maresca, Tomáš Ujfaluši and Javier Portillo were among the highly rated players to sign up for Fiorentina, either permanently or on loan. With this squad, Fiorentina was expected to challenge for a place on the top half of the table, but slipped into the relegation battle that affected more than half of the Serie A clubs during the dramatic season. In the end, a strong finish to the season under incoming coach Dino Zoff saved La Viola from relegation, with an emotional 3–0 victory against Brescia confirming their survival.
The 2009–10 season was Parma Football Club's 19th season in Serie A, having spent a year in Serie B, where they finished second the previous year. Parma enjoyed a successful league season, securing eighth position and narrowly missing out on a return to European competition for the first time since 2006–07.
The 2018–19 Serie A was the 117th season of top-tier Italian football, the 87th in a round-robin tournament, and the 9th since its organization under a league committee separate from Serie B. Juventus were the seven-time defending champions and defended their title following their victory against Fiorentina on 20 April 2019. The season was run from 18 August 2018 to 26 May 2019.
The 2018–19 season was Juventus Football Club's 121st in existence and 12th consecutive season in the top-flight of Italian football.
The 2018–19 season was Parma Calcio 1913's first season in Serie A since bankruptcy in 2015. The club competed in Serie A and in the Coppa Italia.
The 2018–19 season was Cagliari Calcio's third season back in Serie A after being relegated at the end of the 2014–15 season. The club competed in Serie A, finishing 15th, and in the Coppa Italia, where they were eliminated in the round of 16.
The 2018–19 season is Associazione Calcio ChievoVerona's eleventh consecutive season in Serie A. Chievo are competing in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, having finished 13th in the league the previous season.
The 2019–20 Serie A was the 118th season of top-tier Italian football, the 88th in a round-robin tournament, and the 10th since its organization under an own league committee, the Lega Serie A.
