Piovaccari was also top goalscorer in the 2010–11 campaign, scoring 23 league goals.
On 24 June 2011, Cittadella bought Piovaccari's remaining registration rights for €880,000.[3][5]
Sampdoria
editOn 8 July 2011, Piovaccari moved to another Serie B side, Sampdoria, for €3.5 million in a four-year contract.[6][7] After appearing sparingly, he moved to Brescia on 31 January 2012, on loan until June (along with Salvatore Foti) and with Juan Antonio and Andrea Magrassi moving in the opposite direction. During the 2012 financial year, Piovaccari also signed a new contract which last until 30 June 2016.[8]
After returning to Sampdoria, Piovaccari was loaned out again to Novara,[9] and subsequently served another temporary deal at Grosseto,[10] featuring regularly with the latter.

On 24 July, Piovaccari scored his first goal for FCSB, in a 2–1 second leg win against Vardar Skopje in the campaign's UEFA Champions League qualifiers. He scored 16 goals during the campaign, winning the Liga I and the Supercupa României.
Eibar (loan)
editOn 19 August 2014, Piovaccari was loaned to Spanish side Eibar, newly promoted to La Liga.[12] He made his debut for the club on 24 August, replacing Ander Capa in the dying minutes of a 1–0 home win against Real Sociedad.[13] On 1 July 2015, Piovaccari was released by Sampdoria.[14]
