He was named to the European 2nd-tier level EuroCup's All-EuroCup First Team, for the 2015–16 season. On June 17, 2016, Pascolo signed a multi-year deal with the Italian European top-tier level EuroLeague club Olimpia Milano. On July 1, 2018, Pascolo left Olimpia Milano after 2 seasons, where he won one Supercup, one Italian Cup and one "Scudetto". On July 24, 2018, Pascolo officially announced the return to Aquila  Basket Trento with a three-year deal. On June 17, 2020, he extended his contract until 2023. On September 29, 2021, he played for the 2021–2022 season with Assigeco Piacenza in the Serie A2 second tier national league, on a loan contract basis. International career.
