A product of the Lazio youth sector, in 1968-69 he was loaned to Grosseto in Serie D where he made 11 appearances. Back at Lazio the following season, he played a handful of games with the reserves team. In 1970 he was loaned to Romulea (27 appearances with 7 goals in Serie D) and the following season to Termoli coached by Franco Carradori, former Lazio great, where he played 25 games with 7 goals.

In 1972-73 he was back in Rome and part of the roster for Serie A. Since just two players were allowed on the bench and one of which was a keeper, there was obviously not that much space to shine, but he did play two games in the Anglo Italian Cup, even scoring a goal in the last game against Luton Town. He also played a few games in the US and Canada tour at the end of the season. He was an agile forward who often scored in the mid-week friendlies hence the nickname “Wednesday bomber”.

In the summer of 1973 he was sold to Brescia in Serie B but made just 6 appearances. He then went on to play in lower tiers with Almas, LVPA Frascati and Rocca di Papa.

Cinquepalmi was present in Lazio's victorious match against Toronto Metros Croatia on June 7, 1973, one of only three games the Biancocelesti have ever played in Canada.
