Club career

Early career

Parigini began playing football with Pancalieri, an amateur club on the outskirts of Turin. Spotted by Silvano Benedetti, he entered the Torino youth system at age 10 after a three-day trial with the club. He had a strong showing in the Allievi Nazionali and the Primavera under the youth coach Moreno Longo.

In 2013, at age 17, he was loaned to Juve Stabia in Serie B in his first season among the professionals. He disputed 14 games (including five as a starter), but did not score.

Loan to Perugia

The following year he returned to Serie B on loan to newly promoted Perugia. He made his debut with the Umbrians on 23 August 2014 in the second round of Coppa Italia against Spezia (2–1), scoring the winning goal in extra time. He made his debut for the club in the league on 30 August against Bologna (2–1), where he entered as a substitute and provided the assist on the winning goal for Diego Falcinelli. On 8 November he scored his first goal in the league against Virtus Entella. He concluded his first season with Perugia with 33 appearances and five goals, achieving the promotional playoffs where Perugia was eliminated by Pescara.

In the summer of 2015 the loan was renewed and Parigini returned to Umbria. In his second season with Perugia he suffered a muscular tear, which sidelined him for four months, concluding the season with four goals in 19 league games.
