In June 2016, Piovi was loaned by the aforementioned Almagro; a team now in Primera B Nacional.[4] He scored two goals in twenty-six matches in 2016–17, which led to the club signing Piovi permanently.[4] His first appearance as a full-time Almagro player arrived versus Ferro Carril Oeste on 23 September 2017.[4] On 14 June 2019, Piovi agreed loan terms with Primera División side Arsenal de Sarandí.[7] [8] One goal, in a 3–3 draw with River Plate, occurred across twenty appearances for Arsenal.[4] In July 2020, Piovi headed abroad to join Ecuadorian Serie A team L.D.U.
