Born in Avezzano, Abruzzo, Ciofani started his career at Serie B side Pescara. In August 2006, he was loaned to Serie C1 side Celano along with Alessio Spoltore.^[2] He made 29 league appearances for Celano and returned to Pescara on 1 July 2007. With Pescara which the team recently relegated to Serie C1 in June 2007, he only made two appearances. On 4 January 2008, he was loaned to Gela of Serie C2.^[3] He scored seven goals in half season.

Atletico Roma

Ciofani was loaned to Seconda Divisione (ex- Serie C2) side Cisco Roma in August 2008 (renamed to Atletico Roma in 2010) with option to buy half of the registration rights in June 2009, for €130,000.^[4]^[5] He scored 37 goals in two seasons and won the promotion playoffs with Cisco Roma in 2010. He was the team top-scorer of Cisco Roma and top-scorer of the 2nd Divisione Group C in 2009–10 season. Which he was the joint-topscorer of the league along with Alessandro Marotta of Group B. He scored two more goals in the playoffs, just one goal short behind Alessandro Cesarini and Giacomo Casoli (both three goals) and shared the play-offs second highest scorer with Alessandro Cesca, Francesco Corapi, Antonio Montella and Antonio Gaeta; thus he was the overall top-scorer of the 2nd Divisione.

In June 2010, Pescara also won promotion (but to Serie B) and both clubs failed to agree the price of the remained 50% registration rights,^[6] thus both clubs had to submit a bid in envelope to Lega Pro to decide the ownership. On 30 June 2010, Lega Pro announced that Cisco Roma won the closed tender as the highest bidder^[7] for an additional €222,000.^[4]

Parma

He scored 16 goals in 2010–11 season as team-topscorer.^[10] On 24 June 2011, Parma bought the remain 50% registration rights for €100,000^[8] and bought back Gigli.

In July 2011, he was loaned to Serie B newcomer Gubbio, which Parma also bore part of the wage for €185,000 as premi di valorizzazione.^[11] On 2 August 2012, he signed for A.C. Perugia Calcio.^[12] ca. summer 2012 he added one more year to his contract with Parma (to 2015), made Parma still eligible to form co-ownership contract with any club until 2013.
