Amedeo Calliari is a former Italian professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Career

Born in Rovereto, Trentino, Calliari started his career in the same province, for Mori–St.Stefano. In 2002, he was signed by Serie A side Chievo and spent 6 seasons at their youth teams.
Calliari was in Chievo's Primavera under-20 team in 2007–08 season.

He graduated from the youth team in June and loaned to Italian Lega Pro 1st Division club Lumezzane along with first team member Tommaso Chiecchi in July 2008.
On 26 June 2009, Calliari along with ex-Primavera teammate Nicolò Brighenti were sold to Serie B side Triestina in co-ownership deals. Co-currently, Chievo signed Dario D'Ambrosio and Marcello Cottafava in co-ownership deals. On 9 July 2009, Chievo loaned D'Ambrosio and Cottafava back to Triestina, and Calliari and Brighenti were loaned to Lumezzane and Pergocrema of Italian Lega Pro 1st Division respectively.
After Triestina re-admitted to Serie B in August 2010, Triestina bought back Cottafava for €210,000 and Chievo bought Calliari back for €220,000. He was loaned to Lumezzane for a third time on 6 August 2010. It is because Calliari's contract had a nominal accounting value of €440,000, which Chievo chose to amortize it proportionally to contract length, instead of immediately write-down the inflated residual value. However, Chievo had write-down €506,695 for the sale of Brighenti in June 2011.

On 22 August 2012 Calliari was sold to Monza in a co-ownership deal for just €500; Chievo also write-down the residual value of €114,000. On 20 February 2014 he was released.
