Matteo Giampaolo Vitaioli (born 27 October 1989) is a Sammarinese footballer who plays for Sammaurese as a striker.
Born in Fiorentino, San Marino, Vitaioli has represented three clubs on a permanent basis: San Marino Calcio, F.C. Fiorentino and Sammaurese, and has played for four clubs on loan: Empoli (although he failed to make a single league appearance in the second half of 2005–06 Serie A), ASD Cagliese, Real Montecchio and P.D. Castellarano.
He is considered to be one of the most promising young talents in the San Marino national football team, often regarded as a key member of the squad, partnering Andy Selva and Nicola Ciacci in a three-pronged San Marino attack.
He has won 39 caps to date and scored his first goal on 8 September 2015, in a European Championship qualifier away to Lithuania. It was San Marino's first away goal in 14 years.
As of 30 December 2012, in the domestic leagues, Vitaioli has scored 9 goals in 97 games.
He wears the number 11 shirt for both club and country.
