Michele Paolucci (born 6 February 1986) is an Italian footballer who plays as a forward for Ancona.
Paolucci came through the ranks at Juventus. After graduating from their Primavera youth team. However, despite being called up to the first team he never made an official Serie A appearance for the Old Lady.
In 2006–07 season he was loaned to Ascoli, made his team and Serie A debut on 10 September 2006, against Atalanta B.C.. After his successful spell at Ascoli where he would go on to score 6 goals in 32 Serie A appearances, he returned shortly to Juventus.
In summer 2007, he moved to Udinese on joint-ownership deal, as part of the Vincenzo Iaquinta deal to join Juventus, as tagged for €1.35million. He made his official game debut in Coppa Italia, scored two goals against A.S. Bari on 29 August 2007. . He made just 2 appearances in 5 months at Udinese
In January 2008 Juventus and Udinese loaned him out to Atalanta, where he would play until 30 June 2008.
During the 2008–09 summer transfer window, Juventus and Udinese again loaned Paolucci out, this time to Sicilian giants, Catania. He was a revelation for a high-flying Catania side who was fighting for UEFA Cup places until a mid-season stumble. He scored 7 goals that season, in the Serie A and had been regularly included in first team action, under coach Walter Zenga. He made a total of 28 starts for the club. It was also the most successful Serie A season of his career.
In June 2009, Paolucci returned to Udinese, but was immediately bought back fully by Juventus for €3.3million. On 8 July 2009 he joined Siena in co-ownership for the same price in 5-year contract. Paolucci did not manage to hold down a regular starting place at Siena to some surprise, making just 10 Serie A appearances, and scoring just twice.
