Nicolas Giani (born 15 March 1986) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Spezia.
Giani started his career at Internazionale. In August 2005, he was loaned to Serie B Cremonese, but later returned to Internazionale and played in the 2006 Torneo di Viareggio. He then played two Serie C1 seasons for Pro Patria. In July 2008, he joined Vicenza in a joint-ownership deal and Jean Mbida joined opposite direction. Giani valued €1,000 thus half of the rights worth €500; Mbida valued €120,000 and the half worth €60,000. Giani's co-ownership deal was renewed in June 2009, 2010 and 2011. In June 2012 Inter gave up the remaining 50% registration rights.
On 23 January 2013 Giani was signed by Perugia in temporary deal.
On 9 January 2014 Giani was signed by SPAL, with Erik Panizzi moving in the opposite direction.
