Early career
Amelia grew up as part of the A.S. Roma youth system. In 2001 he left the giallorossi to join Serie C1 club Livorno on loan, playing only once in his first season with the Tuscan side; he was successively confirmed by Livorno in 2002–03 season. for a transfer fees of €2.8M, as part of the deal that acquired half of Giorgio Chiellini's registration rights for €3.1M,and promoted as regular by head coach Roberto Donadoni in the club's Serie B comeback campaign.
Livorno
Amelia then spent two unremarkable loan spells at Lecce and Parma (both Serie A) before to return at Livorno in June 2004, becoming one of the team mainstays since then, and also having his chance to make a debut at European level in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup, where he even managed to score a goal, an injury time header against Partizan Belgrade.
Palermo
In July 2008, after Livorno were relegated to Serie B, Amelia agreed a permanent deal to join Palermo, for €6M;among the highlights of his season, he was mostly remembered by fans for a penalty save to Ronaldinho in the 2–1 Palermo win to AC Milan, but also, in a more negative fashion, for suffering a goal from 45-meter distance by Giuseppe Mascara in the Derby di Sicilia against Catania ended in a shocking 0–4 home loss for his side.
Genoa
In August 2009, Amelia moved to Genoa as part of a player exchange deal, with Rubinho moving the other way. He was the first choice of the team except a few matches played by his understudy Alessio Scarpi.
Milan
On 23 June 2010, following the departure of goalkeeper Marco Storari to Juventus, Amelia was signed by Milan on loan. A clause within the loan contract provides them with the right to acquire the player on co-ownership at the end of the loan spell.
International career 
Amelia was the starting keeper for the Azzurrini and conceded only four goals in six games as Italy won the 2004 European Under-21 Football Championship, while taking home the bronze medal with Italy at the Summer Olympics that same year.
He earned his first cap for Italy in a friendly against Ivory Coast on November 16, 2005, playing the last twenty minutes as a substitute for Christian Abbiati; this was his only senior-side experience when Italy coach Marcelo Lippi chose him over Morgan De Sanctis as the third-choice goalkeeper behind Gianluigi Buffon and Angelo Peruzzi for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but never received any playing time. He has since moved up to Buffon's backup following Peruzzi's retirement, and started his first match for Italy in a 2–0 friendly loss to Croatia on August 16, 2006.Amelia has earned 9 caps overall for the Azzurri.
