In 2005 the Monegasque driver drove in the inaugural GP2 Series season, driving for the Durango team, winning the sprint race at the Nürburgring round.[5][6] However, results were not in his favour for the remainder of the season and for 2006 he would switch to DPR Direxiv.[7] He would score two podiums for the team at Silverstone and Monza. After leaving GP2, he competed in the World Series by Renault for 2007.[8] In 2008 he raced in F3000 Euroseries, Italian F3000 and EuroBOSS.[9]

He was the nation's joint seat-holder, alongside Hubertus Bahlsen.[10] He competed in all races in the 2008-09 season, scoring pole for the South African feature race and finishing a best of third place in the same race. Team Monaco finished 9th overall with 35 points, however the series collapsed a year later and could not improve on this result. Piccione represented Monaco at the 2009 Race of Champions.[11]

Following the loss of his A1 Grand Prix seat, Piccione joined Hexis AMR in the FIA GT1 Championship.[12] He competed for the team across 2010 and 2011, driving their Aston Martin DBR9. The best result was victory in 2011 at the Yas Marina Circuit.[13]

Following his racing career, Piccione designed the Kart Indoor Monaco in Fontvieille. In 2018, he drove a McLaren M14A in the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. In 2022, he was behind the formation of the Monaco E-Kart Championship, with backing from Monegasque Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc.[14][15]
