Career
Paponi started his career with Ancona, playing into the biancorossi youth ranks. In the summer 2004, following the folding of his club, Paponi became a free agent; he then accepted an offer from Parma and joined the ducali youth team.
He made his Serie A debut at the age of 17 on October 22, 2005, then also making his debut at the European level in the UEFA Cup 2006-07, scoring also two goals. His first Serie A goal came in an away league match played against Messina on December 20, 2006, and ended in a 1–1 draw: Paponi's equaliser goal, a reversed bicycle kick immediately dubbed as "scorpion kick", was saluted among the finest scored in the league season. Nevertheless, Paponi struggled to find space in the first team in the following 2007–08 season, and on January 2008 he accepted a loan move to Serie B's Cesena, where he scored two goals in 21 games.
For the 2008–09 season he returned to Parma, now in Serie B, playing seven games and scoring twice, but on January 2009 he was loaned out again, this time to Rimini as part of the deal that brought then-Serie B topscorer Daniele Vantaggiato to join the gialloblu.
On 10 June 2010 Parma exchanged the 22-year old striker with Gabriele Paonessa of Bologna.[3]
