Adrián Ricchiuti (born 30 June 1978) is an Argentine-Italianfootball midfielder, who last played for A.C. Rimini 1912 in the Italian Serie D.

Ricchiuti was born in Argentina but moved to Italy in his teens to join Ternana Calcio, in 1994, and the team was then playing in Serie D. His professional career started with the club, where he made 24 first team appearances and scored 1 goal over the course of two full seasons.

Following two seasons with Ternana Calcio, Ricchiuti transferred to Genoa CFC in the summer of 1996. He would again spend two seasons, before transferring again. In his two-year spell with the Ligurian club, Ricchiuti mad just 10 league appearances and hence, was sold to then-Serie C side Carpi F.C. 1909, in 1998.

After two unsuccessful seasons at Genoa, Ricchiuti joined Carpi F.C. 1909 in 1998, and went on to make 18 appearances as a regular starter for the club, in just 6 months. The player also notched a goal. Following this short lived success with Carpi, the young Argentine was linked to a host of Argentine clubs, amongst several Serie B teams.

Ricchiuti officially transferred to A.C. Pistoiese in 1998, and soon became a key part of the club's starting formation. In just one and half seasons, the young midfielder managed an impressive 42 league starts and also 3 goals. His impressive displays lead to his eventual transfer to Serie B side A.S. Livorno Calcio.

A new Serie B adventure came about in 2000, after Ricchiuti transferred to A.S. Livorno Calcio. His adventure with the club was a short one, however, as he transferred to A.C. Arezzo, after making just 12 league appearances for the Amaranto.

Ricchiuti again transferred clubs in 2000, and went on to make 27 appearances, scoring 7 goals in his first season, and soon became a fan favorite within the squad. In his second season with the Tuscan club, Ricchiuti made an additional 21 appearances, scoring 3 goals. He was set for another transfer, however, in the winter of 2002, and he did indeed transfer to Serie C2 club, Rimini Calcio F.C., where his career really took off.
