Then he was selected by head coach Pierluigi Casiraghi in the squad for the 2007 U-21 Championship as the third choice goalkeeper. After that competition he became the first choice in the goal for Italy U-21 team until the 2009 U-21 Championship.

In 2008, he took part at the 2008 Summer Olympics with the Italian Olympic team, as the back up of Emiliano Viviano.
