International career
Born in Venezuela, Margiotta played for Italy at youth level and at Football at the 2000 Summer Olympics. In 2004 FIFA changed its rules to allow a footballer to switch nation if he had multi-nationality. Originally aimed at players under the age of 21, that year allowed all players to apply. Margiotta switched to Venezuela as he might have no chance to play for Italy. He collected 11 caps, four of which were friendlies.
