Club career

=Early career=

Born in Gallipoli, in the Province of Lecce, Apulia, Gabrieli started his career at local side U.S. Lecce.

Gabrieli joined Poggibonsi on loan in July 2008 in order to gain first team experience.{{cite news|url=http://www.valdelsa.net/det-cy38-it-EUR-20008-.htm|title=Calcio Valdelsa - Seconda Divisione - Poggibonsi, tutti i convocati per giovedì 24 luglio ore 15.30|work=Valdelsa.net|language=it|date=16 July 2008|access-date=8 December 2011}} That season the club also signed young keepers Gaetano Lattanzi and Valerio Mollo. Gabrieli fought off competition from his teammates to win a starting place in the team, and played all 34 league matches of the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

In July 2009 he joined Cosenza on loan along with Giuseppe Caccavallo.{{cite press release|url=http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=1182|title=Caccavallo e Gabrieli al Cosenza|date=9 July 2009|access-date=20 September 2010|publisher=U.S. Lecce|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306041500/http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=1182|archive-date=6 March 2012|url-status=dead}} He was the understudy of Andrea Pinzan until Pinzan was exchanged with Giancarlo Petrocco. At first Gabrieli was a backup to Petrocco, but he replaced Petrocco in round 24 (21 February), and was promoted to the club's first choice keeper. Gabrieli also replaced Petrocco in round 21 (24 January).

Gabrieli left for Paganese in August 2010,{{cite press release|url=http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=2645|title=Ceduto Gabrieli|date=11 August 2010|access-date=12 August 2010|publisher=US Lecce|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306041540/http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=2645|archive-date=6 March 2012|url-status=dead}} rejoining Lecce team-mates Gianmarco Ingrosso and Vittorio Triarico. He was the club's first choice keeper until the arrival of Paolo Ginestra in December. In January 2011 he was signed by Barletta, as the team's first choice keeper ahead of Giuseppe Di Masi and the injured Andrea Tesoniero.{{cite press release|url=http://www.ssbarletta.com/dettaglinotizie_frame.asp?idnews=406|title=Gabrieli Ugo in biancorosso|trans-title=Gabrieli Ugo in "White-Red"|publisher=S.S.

=Return to Lecce=

On 1 July 2011, Gabrieli returned to Lecce, wearing the number one jersey. However, he was the understudy to Júlio Sérgio and Massimiliano Benassi after Antonio Rosati was sold. He made his first start on 21 December 2011, in a 4–1 home loss to Internazionale. Before the match, coach Serse Cosmi had lost both first choice keepers{{cite press release|url=http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=4308|title=Effettuata la rifinitura|publisher=U.S. Lecce|language=it|date=20 December 2011|access-date=22 December 2011|quote=Mister Cosmi ...... e sugli infortunati Julio Sergio, Benassi, Esposito, Giandonato, Mesbah, Ofere e Bertolacci......|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120612121004/http://www.uslecce.it/PaginaEvento.aspx?ID_TIPO_EVENTO=1&ID_EVENTO=4308|archive-date=12 June 2012|url-status=dead}} and also called up Luigi Turbacci from the Primavera youth team, who was used as a backup on the bench.{{cite press release|url=https://www.inter.it/en/news/38555|title=Inter 4-1 Lecce: a goal-fest to end 2011|date=21 December 2011|access-date=21 March 2019|publisher=F.C.

International career

=Italy U-19 side=

Gabrieli was a backup goalkeeper for the Italy U-19 side in 2007 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship elite qualification, behind Edoardo Pazzagli. Gabrieli also played once, the third and last match of that stage.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under19/fixturesresults/round=2253/match=85298/report=lu.html|title=UEFA European U-19 C'ship – Fixtures & Results – Match specific (Croatia 3–1 Italy)|date=6 June 2017|access-date=21 March 2019|archive-date=26 August 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070826105125/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under19/fixturesresults/round=2253/match=85298/report=lu.html|publisher=UEFA}} Coach Francesco Rocca picked two keepers born in 1989, instead of picking from the pool of players born in 1988, the age limit of that season. Gabrieli was the starting keeper in 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualification, ahead of Vincenzo Fiorillo. However, Gabrieli was not selected by Rocca to the elite round, who picked Fiorillo and Carlo Pinsoglio instead.

=Italy U-20 side=

Since Rocca was appointed as the coach of the Italy U-20 team in 2008, he selected Gabrieli to the team at the start of 2008–09 season.{{cite press release|url=https://www.figc.it/it/nazionali/news/la-stagione-degli-azzurrini-inizia-con-uno-stage-di-tre-giorni-a-coverciano/|title=La stagione degli Azzurrini inizia con uno stage di tre giorni a Coverciano|publisher=Italian Football Federation (FIGC)|language=it|date=22 August 2008|access-date=21 March 2019}}{{cite press release|url=https://figc.it/it/federazione/news/per-l-under-20-stage-di-tre-giorni-a-coverciano-dal-12-al-15-ottobre/|title=Per l'Under 20 stage di tre giorni a Coverciano dal 12 al 15 ottobre|publisher=Italian Football Federation (FIGC)|language=it|date=9 October 2008|access-date=21 March 2019}} However, Gabrieli failed to make a debut. Instead Gabrieli received call-up from Italy national under-20 football C team but once again failed to make his debut with the side.{{cite press release|url=http://www.lega-pro.com/it/attrapp/RappresentativaLega/MIROPcroazia-italia.pdf|title=RAPPRESENTATIVA NAZIONALE CROAZIA - ITALIA LEGA PRO|publisher=Lega Pro|language=it|date=20 October 2008|access-date=8 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120406150352/http://www.lega-pro.com/it/attrapp/RappresentativaLega/MIROPcroazia-italia.pdf|archive-date=6 April 2012|url-status=dead}}{{cite press release|url=http://www.lega-pro.com/rappresentativa/257-mirop-cup-una-bella-under-20-vince-in-croazia.html|title=Mirop Cup: una bella Under 20 vince in Croazia|publisher=Lega Pro|language=it|date=22 October 2008|access-date=16 August 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713195651/http://www.lega-pro.com/rappresentativa/257-mirop-cup-una-bella-under-20-vince-in-croazia.html|archive-date=13 July 2011}} He was only able to play for U-20 C team (or known as "U-20 Lega Pro") in the 2009 Lega Pro Quadrangular Tournament, a tournament competed by the three U-21 representative teams from the three groups of Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, as well as the "U-20 Lega Pro" team.
