Born in San Daniele del Friuli,[2][3] Comuzzo started playing football at local grassroots club Tricesimo at the age of six,[3] before joining the youth sectors of Udinese and Pordenone,[2][3] and then moving to Fiorentina's academy in 2019.[4][5]
He then came through the Viola's youth ranks, being named as captain of the under-18 squad,[5][6] before being promoted to the under-19 team in the first months of 2023.[6][7] In March of the same year, he signed his first professional contract with Fiorentina, penning a deal until 2025, with an option for another year.[6][8][9] During the same season, he helped the under-19 team win the Supercoppa Primavera,[10][11] as they also reached the Coppa Italia final.[3][12][13]
At the start of the 2023–24 season, Comuzzo started training with the first team, under manager Vincenzo Italiano.[6][14] On 8 October 2023, the defender made his professional (and Serie A) debut for Fiorentina, coming on as a substitute for Jonathan Ikoné in a 3–1 league win over Napoli.[6][15] On 26 October, he made his debut in a continental tournament, coming on for injured Michael Kayode in the sixth minute of a 6–0 win over Čukarički in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage.[3][16]
On 17 August 2024, Comuzzo made his first professional start in a 1–1 league draw against Parma.[17][18]
Comuzzo has represented Italy at under-17,[19] under-18[7][20] and under-20 level.[21][22]
He received his first call-up to the Italian under-20 national team in September 2023.[23][24]
On 8 November 2024, coach Luciano Spalletti included Comuzzo in the Italy senior team squad for UEFA Nations League fixtures against Belgium and France.[25]
Comuzzo is a centre-back who can play either in a back four or a back three,[5][6] but can also cover the right-back role.[3] He has been regarded for his physical attributes, his marking abilities and his technique.[5][6] A fairly sporting player,[5] he has also been described as an aerial threat from set pieces and a leader of the defense.[6]
Comuzzo has a twin brother, Francesco: they played together for the youth teams of Tricesimo, Udinese, Pordenone and Fiorentina until 2020, when Francesco was released by the latter club.[2][3]
