In 2005, he was signed to play for Serie D side Savoia, but didn't make any appearances for the first team in competitive matches.
He made a six-month loan to Cosenza but was released by Crotone the day after its expiry and became a free agent.
He left Parma soon after the expiry of the loan, moving to Benevento without making a single appearance for the Emilia-Romagna team.
Scognamiglio remained at Benevento for one year, making 34 appearances and scoring 6 goals, establishing himself as a solid player for Juan Landaida's side as they were crowned champions of Lega Pro Group C, and gained promotion to Serie B.
He scored his first goal for the club in Serie B Match Day 19, netting in the 39th minute of an eventual 3–1 win over Cesena.
