On 19 July 2021, he joined Trento, newly promoted into Serie C, on loan.[7] He played as first-choice goalkeeper in the first half of the season. On 8 January 2022, Verona terminated the loan and included Chiesa in his Serie A squad. He was a Hellas Verona player until the end of the season. [8]

He played as first-choice goalkeeper for the entire season. He made 31 appearances in the league, as a total of 2751 minutes.

In the first part of the 2025–26 season, he returned to his parent club, Hellas Verona, where he served as the reserve goalkeeper, making no appearances in Serie A. On 2 February 2026, he mutually terminated his contract with the club, which had been due to expire on 30 June 2026.
