==Career== ===Youth career=== Born in Bussolengo, the province of Verona, Veneto region, Solini started his career at Verona club Chievo. In August 2009 Lombard club and defending Serie A champion of that year, Internazionale, signed Solini in co-ownership deal<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/it/news/45310|title=Mercato: un arrivo e una cessione|date=4 August 2009|accessdate=25 October 2013|work=www.inter.it|publisher=FC Internazionale Milano|language=Italian}}</ref> for €300,000.<ref name=Chievo2012bilancio>AC Chievo-Verona s.r.l. financial report and accounts (''bilancio'') on 30 June 2012 {{in lang|it}}, [http://www.registroimprese.it/ Require purchase in Italian Chambers of Commerce and Industry]</ref> Solini suppressed the seasonal transfer record of U17 team, which Inter paid €220,000 for Manuel Canini on 23 July. However, Solini only played 1 season for Inter U17 team and Canini only half. Solini was a member for Italy U17 team in 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship qualification, which eliminated in October 2009. Since August 2010 Solini returned to Chievo for its reserve.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/34371|title=New destinations for two players|date=18 August 2010|accessdate=25 October 2013|work=www.inter.it|publisher=FC Internazionale Milano}}</ref> In June 2012, Inter finally gave up the 50% registration rights back of Solini and Canini to Chievo and Cesena respectively as well as Chievo gave up the remain 50% registration rights of Enrico Alfonso to Inter.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/en/news/40174|title=Transfer market: Longo owned by Inter outright|date=22 June 2012|accessdate=25 October 2013|work=www.inter.it|publisher=FC Internazionale Milano|language=Italian|archive-date=29 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029204452/http://www.inter.it/en/news/40174|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, for accounting purpose, half of the card of Alfonso and Solini were both priced for €1.1 million.{{#tag:ref|On the balance sheet of Chievo on 30 June 2011, it already had the asset value of another 50% card of Alfonso and Solini priced €1.9 million and €300,000 respectively.<ref name=Chievo2012bilancio/> If both players sold for peppercorn fee, it would have made Chievo have negative asset (negative equity) on 30 June 2012 due to the immediate write-down of €2.2 million for the "co-ownership asset". However if Alfonso went to Inter outright for another €1.1 million, it just made Chievo have to book a financial cost of €800,000;<ref name=Chievo2012bilancio/> co-currently, the signing of Solini for €2.2 million, would only create cost after 2011–12 financial year, as a amortization of intangible asset €733,333 each to 2012–13, 2013–14 and 2014–15 season, if a 3-year contract was signed. Moreover, as Chievo had retained half, Chievo just need to pay €1.1 million (thus counter-weight the selling of Alfonso's card directly) and would register a financial income of €800,000<ref name=Chievo2012bilancio/> as the retained half had increased value from €0.3 million to €1.1 million, yet counter-weight the aforementioned financial cost. It ''de facto'' turned the €2.2 million "co-ownership asset" into the contract value of Solini of €2.2 million as "intangible asset", delaying the write-down to amortization. Chievo may have received a speculative profit if Solini had developed into a Serie A player that matched the €2.2 million price tag.|group=nb|name=coown}}<ref name=Chievo2012bilancio/><ref>FC Internazionale Milano SpA financial report and accounts (bilancio) on 30 June 2012 {{in lang|it}}</ref>
===Serie C loans=== Solini signed his first professional contract for Chievo in summer 2012. The first club since graduated from the reserve team was Castiglione.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.fccastiglione.it/indexold.html|title= Speciale CALCIOMERCATO|date=17 July 2012|accessdate=22 May 2014|publisher=FC Castiglione|language=Italian}}</ref> He was regularly in the starting line-up for the Lombard team in Italian fourth division. On 10 July 2013 Solini and Chievo team-mate Valerio Anastasi were signed by Reggiana in temporary deal and co-ownership deal respectively .<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.reggianacalcio.it/Apps/WebObjects/ReggianaCalcio.woa/wa/viewNews?id=8504&lang=ita|title=Dal Chievo ecco Anastasi e Solini|date=10 July 2013|accessdate=25 October 2013|publisher=AC Reggiana 1919|language=Italian|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029200614/http://www.reggianacalcio.it/Apps/WebObjects/ReggianaCalcio.woa/wa/viewNews?id=8504&lang=ita|archivedate=29 October 2013}}</ref> Chievo also signed Federico Scappi as part of the swap deal. In 2014–1015, moved on loan to Real Vicenza that plays in Lega Pro.
On 7 July 2015 he moved to Renate along with Simone Moschin.
One year later he moved to Arezzo with Kevin Yamga<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usarezzo.it/yamga-solini-amaranto/|title=Yamga e Solini in amaranto|date=30 June 2016|access-date=14 July 2016|publisher=U.S. Arezzo|language=Italian|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160708211900/http://www.usarezzo.it/yamga-solini-amaranto/|archive-date=8 July 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
