Stefano Giacomelli (born 30 April 1990) is an Italian footballer who plays for Serie B club Vicenza.
Born in Spoleto, Umbria, Giacomelli started his career with Foligno. He made his league debut during 2006–07 Serie C2 season, and often made substitute appearances in the next season, but in Serie C1. In July 2008, he was loaned to F.C. Internazionale Milano Primavera, but only scored one goal for the senior youth team in regular season of Campionato Nazionale Primavera, ranked the 5th among the strikers (behind Aiman Napoli, Mattia Destro, Riccardo Bocalon and Mario Balotelli) and ranked equal 9th among the whole team. He also scored one of the two goals of Inter in the playoffs round. He also played as a left midfielder for the Primavera team.
On 1 July 2009 Giacomelli returned to Foligno and scored 13 league goals in 2009–10 season, which is the team joint-topscorer along with Matteo Cavagna, ahead Juan Martin Turchi. In the first half of 2010–11 season, he scored 5 goals as joint team top-scorer at that time, along with Daniele Sciaudone. However, Giacomelli left the club on 31 January, making him ranked as the equal third along with Diego Falcinelli, behind Sciaudone and Matteo Coresi (7 goals) in the whole season.
On 31 January 2011 Giacomelli was sold to Pescara in a co-ownership deal in a 4-year contract, for €140,000 transfer fee. On 25 June 2011 Pescara acquired Giacomelli outright, for another €161,000, by submitting a higher tender bid (to Lega Serie B) against Foligno on the deadline day.
