Club career edit
Zotti was born in Foglianise, Benevento. He started his career at A.S. Roma, but his first-team experience was limited due to the presence of experienced goalkeepers Francesco Antonioli, Ivan Pelizzoli and Cristiano Lupatelli. He also had to compete with other young keepers such as Gianluca Curci. In 2004, he signed a five-year contract with Roma.[1] In 2005, he was loaned to Ascoli Calcio 1898 to seek first team football.
He was back at Roma in the summer of 2006, but because Roma signed Julio Sergio Bertagnoli, Zotti became the 4th choice goalkeeper. Loaning him out proved a difficult task, so Zotti played for the Primavera side in the 2006–07 season. Due to this, he was finally sent on loan to U.C. Sampdoria in January 2007.
Zotti signed for Serie B team AS Cittadella in 2008, which Zotti terminated the contract with Roma by mutual consent,[2] he joined than on 28 January 2009 to AC Bellinzona.
Zotti joined in 2012. In September, during a 3–2 away against FC Winterthur, he was substituted off due to an injury.[3]
International career edit
Zotti was in the Italy U21 squad that won the 2004 European Under-21 Football Championship, but was an unused sub.
