Born in Como, Lombardy, 45 km north of Milan, Bogani started his career at F.C.
He played with the Primavera U20 youth team during the 2000–01 season,[1] and in September 2001, he was loaned to Fidelis Andria along with teammate Roberto Capetti.
[2] Co-currently, he was sold to A.C. Milan in exchange with Paolo Ginestra, which created a "profit" of €3.5million, but the sell of Bogani's profit was in terms of Ginestra's registration rights.
[3] Milan and Inter had done the deals to gain false profit in 1999 to 2001, and 2003 (include Bogani's youth team teammate Marco Varaldi, Giuseppe Ticli, Salvatore Ferraro and Alessandro Livi).
After spending a season at Andria, he moved to Sassuolo on loan along with Ginestra.
