Club career

Benedettini began his career at San Marino Calcio in Lega Pro, the third tier of the Italian football system. He was first called up to a matchday squad on 24 September 2012, remaining an unused substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Pavia at the Stadio Olimpico in Serravalle.[1] On 10 February 2013 he was called up again and remained unused in a 2–0 home win over PortoSummaga.[2] His third call-up on 5 May resulted in his only appearance of the season, in a home match against Cremonese. Starting goalkeeper Mattia Migani was sent off in the second minute, so forward Francesco Cassola was substituted for Benedettini, who immediately conceded a penalty kick by Giuseppe Le Noci in an eventual 1–6 defeat.[3]

On 21 July 2013, he joined Cesena for an undisclosed fee.[4]

In July 2014, Benedettini moved to Serie D club Pianese.[5]

In July 2016, he moved to Serie B club Novara on a free transfer.[4] He made his competitive debut for the club on 24 December 2016 in a 4–1 away defeat to Virtus Entella.[6] He was released by Novara by mutual consent on 9 October 2020.[7]

On 14 January 2021, he returned to Cesena.[8]

On 11 July 2022, Benedettini agreed to join Cailungo in Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio.[9]

International career

He made his senior international debut for San Marino on 27 June 2015, in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Slovenia in Ljubljana, a 0–6 defeat.[10] Prior to this, he had played for San Marino's youth teams.
