Born in Rovereto, Trentino, Calliari started his career in the same province, for Mori Santo Stefano of Mori. In 2002, he was signed by Serie A side Chievo[1] and spent 6 seasons at their youth teams.
Calliari was in Chievo's Primavera under-20 team in 2007–08 season.[2]
He graduated from the youth team in June and loaned to Italian Lega Pro 1st Division (3rd highest level) club Lumezzane along with first team member Tommaso Chiecchi in July 2008.[3]
On 26 June 2009, Calliari (for €325,000[4]) along with ex-Primavera teammate Nicolò Brighenti (undisclosed fee) were sold to Serie B side Triestina in co-ownership deals .[5][6] Co-currently, Chievo signed Dario D'Ambrosio (undisclosed fee) and Marcello Cottafava (€410,000[4]) in co-ownership deals. On 9 July 2009, Chievo loaned D'Ambrosio and Cottafava back to Triestina, and Calliari and Brighenti were loaned to Lumezzane[7] and Pergocrema[8] of Italian Lega Pro 1st Division respectively.
After Triestina re-admitted to Serie B in August 2010, Triestina bought back Cottafava for €210,000[4] and Chievo bought Calliari back for €220,000[4] (while D'Ambrosio and Brighenti already back to their original club in January 2010). He was loaned to Lumezzane for a third time on 6 August 2010.[9] It is because Calliari's contract had a nominal accounting value of €440,000 (purely through player swap), which Chievo chose to amortize it proportionally to contract length, instead of immediately write-down the inflated residual value. However, Chievo had write-down €506,695 for the sale of Brighenti in June 2011.
On 31 August 2011 he joined South Tyrol, the team form his home autonomous region Trentino – South Tyrol.
