A Verona native, Passarini started his career at Chievo but spent much of it on loan to various clubs.

He spent a season with Chievo (2002–03), before going on loan to Paternò (Serie C1) and Ancona (Serie C2).

He spent another half season with Chievo since the summer of 2006, before going on loan again to Cremonese of Serie C1 in January 2007.[2]

He finally made his Chievo and Serie B debut during 2007–08 season. That season he worked as Lorenzo Squizzi's backup along with Gabriele Aldegani.
