After Venezia owner Maurizio Zamparini took over Palermo from by–then A.S.

Soligo made his Serie B debut with Venezia, on 19 October 2002 (round 8 but the 6th match as first two postponed) He was in the starting XI and replaced by Anderson in 77th minute, 1 minute after Daniele Amerini scored the equalizing goal. The match eventually ended in 1–1 with Ternana. Soligo then remained in starting XI until round 21 (31 January), which he appeared as sub. He played his next match on round 35 and played all last 4 matches as one of the starting XI (round 35 to 38).

On 31 January 2005 he was loaned to fellow Serie B team Verona which aimed to promotion. But he just made 11 league appearances and the team missed the chance to enter the promotion playoffs by finished 1 point less than Ascoli, which Ascoli eventually promoted to Serie A due to Caso Genoa and bankrupt of Torino Calcio (and a new club Torino F.C. re–admitted to Serie B). That season also saw the bankrupt of Salernitana Sport and Salernitana Calcio 1919 re–admitted to Serie C1, which Soligo left for the re–found Salerno club.
