Career
Cesena
Ravaglia made his Cesena and Serie B debut on 2006–07 Serie B season, and was loaned for U.S. Poggibonsi in the following season.[2] After this loan, he was a first choice in 2008–09 Lega Pro Prima Divisione, which the club promoted back to Serie B. However, he was loaned again in the following season to F.C. Esperia Viareggio (also in co-ownership),[3] and in the next, to SPAL 1907.[4]
Ravaglia made his debut in Serie A on 10 September 2011, against Napoli.[5] After the club relegated in 2012, he was the first choice in the first three rounds of 2012–13 Serie B, as well as five games before the winter break; since the arrival of Andrea Campagnolo, Ravaglia was the understudy. Ravaglia wore no.1 shirt for Cesena in 2012–13 season,[6] but given to another youth product Andrea Rossini in 2013–14 season.[7][8] (His new number 34 was taken by Cascione in mid-season)
