A Roma youth product, Amelia spent most of his professional club career at Livorno, where he made 181 appearances across all competitions, including playing and scoring in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup. He later played for several other Italian clubs, and also had a spell in England as a reserve goalkeeper with Chelsea.
At international level, Amelia won a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics, and earned nine senior caps for Italy between 2005 and 2009. He was part of the squad that won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, also being included for Italy's UEFA Euro 2008 and 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup squads.
Club career
=Early career=
Born in Frascati, Province of Rome, Amelia grew up as part of the Roma youth system, and initially played as a forward, before playing in goal.{{cite web |url=http://www.livornocalcio.it/notizie/notizie.php?id=1646 |title=Amelia: siamo un bel gruppo |publisher=www.livornocalcio.it |language=it |access-date=1 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206141700/http://www.livornocalcio.it/notizie/notizie.php?id=1646 |archive-date=6 December 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }} 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 the 2002–03 season, for a transfer fee of €2.8 million, as part of the deal that acquired half of Giorgio Chiellini's registration rights for €3.1 million,{{cite news|url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2002/novembre/07/Roma_buco_nel_bilancio_Per_co_0_0211077824.shtml|title=La Roma ha un buco nel bilancio?

Amelia then spent two unremarkable loan spells at Lecce and Parma (both Serie A) before returning to 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 during the group stage, an injury time header in a 1–1 draw against Partizan in November 2006.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0217-0e8b43176fe1-d6394b0b8867-1000--europe-s-goalscoring-goalkeepers/|title=Europe's goalscoring goalkeepers|publisher=UEFA|date=9 July 2014|access-date=3 November 2017}}
=Palermo=
In July 2008, after Livorno were relegated to Serie B, Amelia agreed a permanent deal and contract to join Palermo, for €6 million.{{cite news|url=http://www.ilpalermocalcio.it/it/0809/news_scheda.jsp?id=9777 |title=DICHIARAZIONE DI ZAMPARINI |date=2 September 2008 |access-date=14 March 2010 |work=ilpalermocalcio.it |language=it |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090429025709/http://www.ilpalermocalcio.it/it/0809/news_scheda.jsp?id=9777 |archive-date=29 April 2009 }} Among the highlights of his season, fans mostly remembered Amelia for saving Ronaldinho's penalty in a 3–1 win over Milan, but also, in a more negative fashion, for failing to deal with Giuseppe Mascara's 49-yard strike in the Derby di Sicilia, which 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, both players valued €5 million.{{cite book|title=Genoa CFC 2009 annual report|url=http://registroimprese.it|publisher=C.C.I.A.A.|language=it|date=28 April 2010|access-date=11 August 2011}} Amelia was the first choice of the team except a few matches played by backup Alessio Scarpi.

On 23 June 2010, and after the sale of goalkeeper Marco Storari to Juventus,{{cite news|url=http://www.juventus.com/site/filesite/finance/comunicatipricesensitive/comunicato_23062010_storari_eng.pdf|title=Agreement with AC Milan for the acquisition of the registration rights of the player Marco Storari|date=23 June 2010|access-date=23 June 2010|work=Juventus FC}} Amelia was signed by Milan on loan in a deal which included the right to purchase the player at the end of the year-long loan.{{cite web |title=A.C.

On 24 May 2011, Milan exercised its option to purchase Amelia for €3.5 million[http://www.acmilan.com/uploads/club/bilancio2011/ page 134] on a three-year contract, despite Amelia only making a handful of appearances and being second-choice to Christian Abbiati all season.{{cite news|url=http://archiviostorico.gazzetta.it/2011/maggio/25/Boateng_del_Milan_Riscatto_milioni_ga_10_110525107.shtml|title=Boateng è del Milan Riscatto da 7 milioni|date=25 May 2011|access-date=11 June 2011|work=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it}} Amelia made his debut in the 2011–12 season in Serie A, on 28 November 2011 against Chievo, replacing Abbiati, who suffered a shoulder injury. Amelia went on to make 14 appearances for Milan that season.
In the 2012–13 season, his third season at Milan, Amelia continued to be second-choice to Abbiati, making 11 first-team appearances. Milan did not renew Amelia's contract at the end of 2013–14 season.{{cite news|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/16-05-2014/milan-abbiati-rinnova-una-stagione-agazzi-sostituisce-amelia-80684529347.shtml|title= Milan, Abbiati rinnova per una stagione.

International career
Amelia made his debut for the Italy under-15 side in March 1998, in a tournament held in France.
With the Italy under-21 side, Amelia was the starting goalkeeper in Claudio Gentile's squad that won the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Later that year, he served as a back-up to Ivan Pelizzoli in the Italy under-23 squad which won a bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.{{cite web|url=http://vivoazzurro.it/news/auguri-a-marco-amelia-che-compie-33-anni/?lang=i|title=Auguri a Marco Amelia che oggi compie 33 anni!|publisher=vivoazzurro.it|language=it|date=2 April 2015|access-date=18 July 2017}}{{cite news|url=http://temi.repubblica.it/ilpiccolo-europei2008/2008/05/23/marco-amelia/|title=Marco Amelia - Europei 2008|newspaper=La Repubblica|language=it|access-date=18 July 2017}}

Following Peruzzi's retirement, Amelia became Italy's second-choice goalkeeper, behind Buffon.
