Gianetti became a starter for the team during the second half of the 2015 Argentine Primera División season, in which he started in all 15 games.[2] He scored his first professional goal in the 12th fixture of the 2016 Argentine Primera División, a last-minute winner against Argentinos Juniors.[3]

On 6 January 2024, Gianetti signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Serie A team Udinese, with an option for a further year.[4]

Gianetti was part of the squad of the Argentina national under-20 football team that played the 2013 South American Youth Championship.

In 2016, the defender was selected by coach Gerardo Martino for the preliminary squad of the Argentina national under-23 football team to participate in the Summer Olympics. He was later confirmed by Martino's successor Julio Olarticoechea and started in all three games of the team in the tournament.[5][6]
