Career
De Genova was born in Genoa. He first competed outside Italy in the 1955 European Weightlifting Championships, finishing runner-up to Russian Nikolay Kostylev. The next year, De Genova finished third with a total of 347.5 kg.
He took part in the Melbourne 1956 Summer Olympics where he finished in 16th place out of 18 athletes — his poor performance coming partly as a result of a muscle strain.
In 1958, De Genova participated in the European Weightlifting Championships and the World Weightlifting Championships, receiving a silver medal in both competitions.
Luciano earned a 13th-place finish at the Rome 1960 Summer Olympics, finishing with a total lift of 352.5 kg.
