Olivieri then moved to Serie B, achieving two consecutive promotions with Empoli and Lecce, tallying a total of 52 appearances, 6 goals, and 2 assists. He continued in Serie B for the last three seasons, spending two years at Perugia with 43 appearances, 7 goals, and 1 assist, and last season at Venezia, where he made 23 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist, once again earning promotion to Serie A.

His résumé also includes 49 appearances and 10 goals with Italy's youth national teams from Under-16 to Under-20, including a runner-up finish at the Under-19 European Championship in Finland in 2018 and participation in the Under-20 World Cup in Poland the following year, where Italy reached the semifinals.
