Staccione was born in Turin; his younger brother, Eugenio was also a professional footballer.[2] His wife, Giulia, died in 1930 following the complications from the delivery of a stillborn child.[2]
In his youth, Mazzoni played for Torino.[3]
In his senior career, Staccione played for Torino (1924–1927), Cremonese (on loan from Torino during the 1924–25 season), Fiorentina (1927–1931), Cosenza (1931–1934), and Savoia (1934–1935).[4][3][5]
During his time at Torino, he contributed to winning the 1926–27 Divisione Nazionale which was later stripped following allegations of bribery.[4]
After retiring from football, Staccione worked as a labourer for Fiat.[6][2]
Staccione was a noted anti-fascist. During his time at Savoia, he was regularly accosted by fascist personnel. He was arrested by the SS in March 1944 and died at the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp in March 1945.[6][2][4]
In 2012, he was inducted into ACF Fiorentina Hall of Fame.[7]
