After playing with Sammartinese, in 1990 he joined the Modena youth teams and debuted in Serie B in 1992. He stayed until 1994 making 51 appearances and one goal before moving to Lazio.

With the Biancocelesti he made just one appearance in Coppa Italia before being sold to Brescia in the winter transfer window. He played for five seasons in Lombardy, three in Serie B and two in Serie A making 167 appearances with 10 goals. In this first stint there were two relegations and two promotions. In 1999 he joined Fiorentina and played 109 games, with 8 goals, over three seasons. He won the Coppa Italia in 2000-01.

After Fiorentina went bust in 2002 he joined Inter where he stayed for two seasons. He did not play as much as he probably would have liked, especially in his first year in Milan, but went on to make 45 appearances with 5 goals in all competitions.

In 2004 he went back to Brescia but left after some fans broke onto the training ground. His last years in top flight football were with Ascoli and Empoli, though he seldom played. Before quitting, he spent his last two years back with Sammartinese in the minor leagues.

Adani played five times for Italy, all friendlies, between 2000 and 2004.

Once he stopped playing he moved into punditry working for all the major Italian TV stations. Passionate about Latin American football, he shows great knowledge and expertise, though perhaps slightly over the top. He has also participated in talk shows on YouTube and other social media.

Adani was a good defender and had a long career, though he probably did not impress Zdenek Zeman much in his very brief stint with Lazio.
