Liverziani made his professional debut in Italy at 16 years old before signing with the Seattle Mariners.[1] In 1997 and 1998, Liverziani played for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the Midwest League.[2] He was released by the Mariners organization on or about April 1, 1999.[3] He returned to Italy in 1999 and played in the Italian Baseball League until 2016, primarily for Bologna.[2] In 2009, he recorded his 1,000th hit in the Italian league against Abe Alvarez. He was the seventh player to reach that mark.[1] In December 2009, the Italian National Olympic Committee announced that Liverziani would be banned for two years due to a drug offense.[4]
