Formula Azzurra
Following six years of experience in karting, Cicatelli transitioned to single-seater racing in 2007 by entering the Italian Formula Azzurra series. He clinched the championship title by a narrow margin of one point after a competitive season-long duel with Marco Zipoli, achieving seven victories along with four further podium finishes over fourteen events.
Formula Renault 2.0
Cicatelli made his initial appearance in Formula Renault at the conclusion of 2007, participating in the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 Winter series held at Vallelunga representing Viola Formula Racing. He secured seventh place overall, accumulating 44 points.
Formula Three
In 2008, Cicatelli progressed to the Italian Formula Three Championship with BVM–Target Racing. Competing against frontrunners such as Mirko Bortolotti and Edoardo Piscopo, he demonstrated consistent race completions and earned four podium spots, ultimately finishing third in the championship standings. This achievement granted him an opportunity to test a Ferrari F2008 Formula One car at Fiorano on 27 November 2008, where he completed 33 laps and recorded a best lap time of 1:01.243.
For the 2009 season, Cicatelli continued in Italian F3, beginning with Corbetta Competizioni before transferring to Team Ghinzani after six rounds. He ended the year ranked seventh overall, securing podium finishes at Misano, Varano, and Imola.
