Born in Cosenza, Calabria, Papa made his league debut for Serie C2 team Rende on 14 January 2007 as substitute.[2] At the end of the season the team relegated, re-located to Cosenza and merged with AS Cosenza Calcio and became Fortitudo Cosenza. In June 2007 he was loaned to Inter's Primavera youth team along with Francesco D'Angelo.[3] In July 2008, Inter decided to buy him outright[4] and loaned him to Triestina.[5] He spent 2009–10 season at Chievo[6] for free.
In July 2010 he left for Prima Divisione club Foligno along with Jacopo Fiorucci from Chievo reserve.[7] The club signed Ivan Merli Sala and Papa in co-ownership deal from Chievo for a peppercorn of €100 each.
