Giani started his career at Internazionale. In August 2005, he was loaned to Serie B Cremonese, but later returned to Internazionale and played in the 2006 Torneo di Viareggio.[1] He then played two Serie C1 seasons for Pro Patria. In July 2008, he joined Vicenza in a joint-ownership deal[2] and Jean Mbida joined opposite direction.

In June 2012 Inter gave up the remaining 50% registration rights.

On 23 January 2013 Giani was signed by Perugia in temporary deal.[3][4]
