Gianetti debuted professionally for Vélez Sarsfield in the 2012 Clausura under Ricardo Gareca's coaching, starting in a 0–2 defeat to Argentinos Juniors.[1] The defender was part of the squads that won the 2012 Inicial, 2012–13 Superfinal and 2013 Supercopa Argentina, although he did not play any games.
Gianetti became a starter for the team during the second half of the 2015 Argentine Primera División season, in which he started in all 15 games.[2] He scored his first professional goal in the 12th fixture of the 2016 Argentine Primera División, a last-minute winner against Argentinos Juniors.[3]

In 2016, the defender was selected by coach Gerardo Martino for the preliminary squad of the Argentina national under-23 football team to participate in the Summer Olympics.
