 On 31 January 2011, Catania bought Lodi from Frosinone for €680,000, with Empoli retained 50% registration rights.Lodi also immediately joined Catania for the remainder of the 2010–11 season, in a two-and-a-half-year contract.His first two appearances for the Sicilian side were very low key, but on 13 February 2011, Lodi scored two fantastic free-kicks in a comeback 3–2 victory for Catania over Lecce.
