He started to play football in his hometown and was noticed by Spal after 15 appearances and two goals in Serie C. He did not have great technique but was certainly a goal scorer, one of those forwards who was always in the right spot at the right time.

He stayed two years in Ferrara becoming an idol. After having saved the club from relegation in a playoff in 1955, in the summer he was sold to Lazio in exchange for a lot of money plus Sivgard Löfgren. He did not play much, just 11 appearances with four goals, but he did play more for the reserves team that won the scudetto (14 games, 6 goals).

In 1956 he signed for Triestina. That year they were relegated but he stayed on and in the next season they won the Serie B league and got promoted back to Serie A. In 1958 he left for Atalanta who were in Serie B. Another promotion and four consecutive Serie A campaigns in his five seasons in Bergamo. In 1963 he returned home to Sambenedettese in Serie C, was top scorer in the third tier and then in 1965 he decided to retire.
