After playing twice for the capital club, he moved on to Serie B outfit Savoia on a loan deal to gain experience.
That season, Reggiana also signed Fabio Tinazzi for €1million (co-ownership deal) and sent Akande Ajide and Isah Eliakwu to Roma for €1M each (both 50%).
He failed to make a single appearance for the Tuscany side, and joined local rival (and also at Serie B) Ascoli on loan.
At the start of 2010–11 season, his no.9 shirt was taken by José Ignacio Castillo and De Vezze had to change to take departed Mariano Donda's no.22.
De Vezze formed the midfield line with Manuele Blasi (by-then Roma team-mate), Davide Carrus and Enzo Maresca, scoring the winning goal against Côte d'Ivoire in the third place match.
