After being transferred to Chievo his career really began to take off, with him scoring 22 times in 68 appearances. During the 2 years that he played for them in Serie A. Internazionale saw a gem in him and signed him for around £3.5 million in 2002. Seen as an understudy to the revered Christian Vieri who, at the time, was an indispensable part of the teams for club and country, Corradi failed to make an appearance for Inter and was eventually sold to Lazio.

After scoring 20 goals in 64 appearances between 2002 and 2004, also making his international debut in that time, he was transferred to Valencia alongside his strike partner Stefano Fiore as a replacement for Gaizka Mendieta and was valued at £8 million. However, after the manager left the club he was loaned out to Parma and later sold for an undisclosed fee to Manchester City. After getting sent off in his first match for 2 yellow cards, he had a less than prolific spell and was shut out of the club, scoring just 3 goals during his time at Eastlands. A brief spell at Reggina, he then moved to Udinese where he has appeared mainly as a substitute.
