Torregrossa was born to Venezuelan former footballer Lirio Torregrossa and Argentine former volleyball player Karina Rezzonico,[3][4] both of them being of Italian descent.
On 12 January 2021, he joined Serie A club Sampdoria. Initially the transfer was a loan, at the end of which Sampdoria was obligated to purchase his rights. He signed a contract with the club that will run until 30 June 2025.[5]
On 24 January 2022, he moved to Serie B club Pisa on loan with an option to buy and a conditional obligation to buy.[6] On 28 July 2022, Torregrossa returned to Pisa on a new loan with an obligation to buy.[7] On 31 January 2023, Pisa made the transfer permanent.[8]
Due to his family heritage, Torregrossa was eligible to represent Italy, Argentina or Venezuela.[9][10] By May 2022, he chose the latter. In November 2022 he received his first call for "La Vinotinto".[11]
