Gazzetta had played for Servette FC since he was young. In 2013, he received his first professional contract, also due to various poaching attempts by domestic and foreign clubs. He made his debut in the first team on 22 July 2013. For the second half of 2014, he played at Étoile Carouge FC in the Promotion League while on loan, then switched back to Servette. At the end of September 2016, he was transferred to FC Winterthur, where he was injured just a few days after the move and was only able to train with Winterthur again after the winter break.[1]
In the 2019–20 season as well as in 2020–21, Gazzetta played for FC Stade Lausanne-Ouchy. In June 2021, he moved to Neuchâtel Xamax.[2] For the 2022–23 season, Gazzetta joined the Bosnian football club HŠK Zrinjski Mostar who were the defending champions.[3]
Gazzetta played for the Switzerland junior national teams up to U20.[4]
On 21 November 2022, Gazzetta committed suicide, jumping from the eighth floor of a building in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The local police department conducted a series of investigations at the site of his death.[5][4]
