Born in Savona, Liguria, Dossena started his career with Ligurian club Genoa but released in 2002;[1] in 2001–02 season Dossena and Danilo Russo were the two keepers for Genoa's under-15 team.[2] He then spent his youth career at Empoli, Tuscany. He played 17 games (out of possible 52 games) from 2004–05 to 2005–06 season for Empoli F.C.'s reserve team.[3]

Since 2005–06, he also awarded a shirt number (37) in the first team to play as a backup keeper. He spent 2 seasons with Serie C2 club Rovigo in 2006–07 and 2007–08 season and played as a regular starter. Rovigo also signed him in a co-ownership deal in 2007.

In 2008–09 Serie B season, Dossena returned to Empoli[4] and played as the understudy of Davide Bassi, ahead Gianmarco D'Oria, then ahead Alberto Pelagotti in 2009–10 Serie B. In 2010–11 Serie B season, Empoli loaned Bassi to Torino and sent Dossena to Barletta in another co-ownership deal;[5] Empoli signed Jasmin Handanovič as replacement and promoted Pelagotti to second keeper.

Since round 30 Dossena became the first choice and Dossena was the protagonist to win the relegation "play-out".[9] Dossena only conceded 13 goals in his 14 appearances, a much improvement than Pelagotti.
