Alessio Luciani was born in Rieti (Lazio) on January 16, 1990.
He played for Lazio's youth teams and then the primavera (U19s). In 2007-08 Lazio qualified for the Champions League under Delio Rossi and Luciani was included in the player list to meet the youth player quota, his number was 43.
In the league he then made his official debut in the 2009-10 season. On October 4, with only a few minutes remaining, he came on in Fiorentina-Lazio in a 0-0 draw. It would remain his only appearance but he officially won the Supercoppa on August 8 in Beijing when Lazio surprisingly beat Mourinho's Inter.
In the summer of 2010 he went on loan to Lumezzane (Brescia) in Lega Pro Prima Divisione (third tier). He stayed two years, under Davide Nicola the Rossoblu finished 6th and 8th.
In 2012 Luciani returned to Lazio but was immediately sent out on loan to Salernitana in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione (4th tier). He stayed two seasons in Salerno. In the first the Amaranto were promoted under former Lazio player Carlo Perrone and Luciani played 24 league games with 1 goal. In the second season the Campani finished 9th. The three managers were all Lazio connections: Stefano Sanderra (current Lazio U19s coach), Carlo Perrone (1977-81, 1982-83) and finally Angelo Gregucci (1986-93). Luciani played 20 league games and 1 in Coppa Italia.
In 2014-15 he spent a season with Gubbio in Lega Pro 1. He played 37 league games, first under Leonardo Arcuri and then Marco Bonura. The Umbrian Lupi (Wolves) finished 16th and were relegated after the play-outs (Savona 2-3 on aggregate)
In 2015-16 he played for Monopoli in Lega Pro 1. The Gabbiano (Seagull) finished 14th but stayed up after the playouts (Ischia 4-2 on aggregate).
In the summer of 2016 he signed for Arezzo where he settled and stayed for five seasons. The Aretini were in Lega Pro 1 and finished 4th under Stefano Sottili, losing in the playoffs and so remaining in the new Serie C format. The Amaranto then finished 16th, 4th, 9th and 20th (relegated to D). His managers included Claudio Bellucci, Massimo Pavane, Alessandro Dal Canto, Daniele Di Donato, Alessandro Potenza and Andrea Camplone. Luciano played regularly in Arezzo and was a consolidated first team player.
In 2021 he left Tuscany and joined Reggiana where he stayed two seasons. The Granata were in Serie C and finished 2nd but then lost in the playoffs to Feralpisalò 1-3 on aggregate. Luciani played 37 games including the playoffs under manager Aimo Diana. The following season the "Regia" finished 1st and won promotion under Diana. Luciani played 25 league games plus 1 in Coppa Italia.
In 2023 he moved south to Puglia and joined Taranto. The Rossoblu, under manager Ezio Capuano, were in Serie C, finished 5th and then lost in the playoffs to Vicenza 0-1 on aggregate. Luciani played 23 league games plus 4 in the playoffs.
He currently plays for Feralpisalò (Salò and Lonato del Garda-Brescia) in Serie C.
Luciani is a right full-back. He never made it at top level but he did play a game for Lazio in Serie A and was in the squad that won the 2009 Supercoppa. He then had a good 3rd tier career and won a promotion to Serie B with Reggiana in 2023.
At 34 he is still playing in Serie C.
