Davis Curiale (born December 30, 1987 in Cologne, Germany) is an Italian football (soccer) player currently on the books of Serie A club U.S. Città di Palermo, where he played as a regular in the role of striker for the Primavera team in the 2006-07 season. He is currently playing on loan for Sambenedettese in the Italian Serie C1.
He is son of Sicilian parents originary from Campobello di Mazara who emigrated to Germany in the 1980s.[2] He started playing football at the age of 5 for local Cologne team SV Mülheim-Nord. Noted in 2004 by former Palermo and Udinese star Giovanni Montalbano, head coach of Eccellenza club Salemi at the time, during a summer beach soccer tournament in Campobello, he accepted to sign for the club, but left it soon after to join Campobello, another Eccellenza team, in November 2004.[2] He scored nine goals for Campobello, helping them to win Eccellenza Sicily and ensure a historical first promotion to Serie D. From 2005 to 2007, he played for Palermo Primavera, notably scoring 28 goals in the 2006–07 season with the Under-20 team, being instrumental in helping the rosanero youth team to reach the Campionato Primavera semi-final, then lost to Internazionale.[3]
On June 5, 2007 Palermo loaned him out to Sambenedettese of Serie C1 in order to let him achieve some first team experience.[3]
