Born in Turin, Piedmont, Corticchia started his career at Serie A and hometown club Juventus F.C. He was a member of the under-17 team in 2009–10 season. That season he was cautioned four times, thus suspended once; In the play-off round he was sent off once for the runner-up. Corticchia was the member of under-20 reserve from 2010 to 2012.

Corticchia played 10 times in 2012–13 Lega Pro Prima Divisione, half of them were included in starting eleven.
Vicenza
On 31 January 2013, Juventus sold Corticchia (for €0.6M) and Salvatore D'Elia (for €0.4M) to Serie B struggler Vicenza Calcio in definitive deal, co-currently Juve also signed youngster Michele Cavion from Vicenza for €1 million. D'Elia was remained in Venezia, while Corticchia was immediately left for Vicenza. Carrarese also sent Alcibiade back to Juve (who went to Hungary soon after) and signed Cavion in temporary deal in return. The deal made Juventus had a selling profit of €877,000 for 2012–13 season, which would counter-weight by the amortization expense of Cavion's accounting value of €984,000 equally divided from 31 January 2013 to 30 June 2017 (€222,800 per season and €92,800 in 2012–13 season), as well as speculative resold value of Cavion in the future. On Vicenza side, the club also had a short-term revenue of €1M to improve its worse financial condition but further damaged in the future by the additional amortization expense created by the signing of Corticchia and D'Elia as well as speculative player performance for the club.
