Davis Curiale (born December 30, 1987) is an Italian association football player currently playing for Trapani Calcio.
Davis Curiale is son of Sicilian parents originary from Campobello di Mazara who emigrated to Germany in the 1980s. 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. 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.
On June 5, 2007 Palermo loaned him out to Sambenedettese of Serie C1 in order to let him achieve some first team experience. With Samb, Curiale played a total of 29 matches, scoring nine goals, and being instrumental in the team's escape from relegation.
Following his impressive experience with Sambenedettese, Curiale received some interest from a number of Serie B teams. On July 2008, Palermo and Vicenza agreed a one-year loan for the young striker. As he did not manage to gain a regular first team place with Vicenza (only playing three games in the first half of the season), he returned to Palermo in January 2009 in order to be loaned to another team, Ravenna Calcio of Lega Pro Prima Divisione, for the remainder of the season. Curiale started impressively his second playing experience in the Italian third tier, becoming instrumental in Ravenna's rise in the league table by scoring eight goals in eight matches before suffering a muscle injury that will keep him out for two months.
