Contents

Coming through Genoa's youth sector, Sommariva started his senior career in 2016 at Nocerina in the Serie D, winning the honorific play-offs. In 2017 he moved to Bustese, before joining Monza in the Serie C, whom he helped gain promotion to the Serie B for the first time in 19 years. Sommariva joined Pescara in 2022.

Career

Early career

Starting out his youth career at local club Multedo  [ it ] aged nine, Sommariva signed for Genoa's youth team two years later. [1] He remained at their youth sector until 2016, [1] having played 39 games for their Primavera squad. [2]

On 1 August 2016, Sommariva joined Serie D club Nocerina. [3] He played 24 league games in the 2016–17 season, [4] winning the group G honorific play-offs. [1] On 12 July 2017, he moved to Bustese—also in the Serie D—playing 29 league games in 2017–18. [4]

Monza

2018–2020: Serie C

On 11 July 2018, Serie C club Monza announced the signing of Sommariva. [5] He made his debut for the club during the 2018–19 season, [6] on 11 November 2018, in a 1–1 league draw to Vis Pesaro. [7] Sommariva was Monza's goalkeeper for the Coppa Italia Serie C, [1] where they finished runners-up after losing the finals to Viterbese. [8]

The following season, Sommariva only featured in the Coppa Italia Serie C, [8] without making an appearance in the league. [6] After winning the Serie C, Monza were promoted to the Serie B for the first time in 19 years. [9]

2020–2022: Serie B

Starting as Monza's third-choice goalkeeper of the season, Sommariva made his Serie B debut on 20 October 2020, in a 1–1 draw to Pisa, [10] due to the positivity of Eugenio Lamanna and Michele Di Gregorio—Monza's first-choice goalkeepers—to COVID-19. [11] Sommariva also played the following game, on 24 October to Chievo, where Monza lost 2–1. [12] On 27 October, he made his debut in the Coppa Italia against Pordenone in the third round. [6] With Monza being reduced to 10 men, Sommariva kept a clean sheet throughout the 120 minutes (including extra time), and saved three of Pordenone's four penalties in the penalty shoot-out, to help Monza pass to the fourth round. [13]

Despite Lamanna's return to the team, Sommariva kept his place as the first-choice keeper against Cittadella in the league; [14] Monza won 2–1 in their first league win of the season. [15]

Pescara

On 13 July 2022, Sommariva joined Serie C side Pescara, alongside teammate Luca Lombardi, [16] as part of a swap deal involving Alessandro Sorrentino moving the other way. [17]

Return to Genoa

On 5 July 2023, Sommariva returned to Genoa ahead of the 2023–24 Serie A season. [2]
