He started playing for Triestina as a forward debuting in Serie A on March 31 1935. He was then loaned to Ponziana, a Trieste based club, in Serie C for two years before going back to the Alabardati in 1937. He stayed for four seasons with 116 league appearances and 40 goals. During this time, he was tried out by Lazio twice in two training games: on October 13 1938 and June 14 1940. However, he was not signed. In 1941 he moved to Genoa. In his second year he scored 20 goals, so far an unsurpassed goal record in one single season for the club.


During the war he played for San Giusto, only to return to Genoa in 1945. Back in Trieste in 1947, he contributed seven goals in 33 games to take his team to second place behind the Great Torino.


In 1950 he finally managed to play a game for Lazio. He was loaned to the Biancocelesti for the Latin Cup of 1950 and he played the semi-final against Benfica which Lazio lost 3-0. In 1950 he became player-manager for Legnano for two seasons then did the same for Piacenza in 1952-53.


Triestina in the meantime were in a spot of financial bother so he went back in 1953 to give a hand. His last year of active football was with Ortona in 1954, again as player-manager.


Trevisan played two games for Italy in 1940 vs Germany and Hungary. Against the latter he scored a goal too.


After he stopped playing, he became a full-time coach, starting with Triestina who unfortunately were relegated from Serie A to C in two years. He then was manager for Cesena, Pisa, Vittorio Veneto and again Triestina in 1969 taking Enrico Radio's place. In 1970 he joined the Italian Football Federation and collaborated with Ferruccio Valcareggi and Enzo Bearzot.


He died in Trieste on December 23 2003
