Vincenzo Proietti Farinelli was born on December 24, 1945 in San Polo dei Cavalieri near Rome.
He first started playing in the Roma youth teams but then moved to Lazio. He debuted in Serie A with the Biancocelesti in 1965 at 19 years of age and made another two appearances with the first team in the next season. In 1966 he signed for Massese in Serie C and played alongside Giorgio Chinaglia. He returned to Rome in 1967 but played only for the reserves team.
In 1968 he moved to Legnano in Serie C and stayed for a couple of seasons before another two years at Alessandria. Back at Legnano in 1972, he then closed his career in a number of Lazio regional teams – Velletri, Cynthia and Banco di Roma – all in the third and fourth tiers. He retired in 1979 after playing 207 league games in Serie C, with 37 goals, and 111 in Serie D, with 6 goals.
He then started a career as coach for minor teams. In 1990 he became a scout for Sampdoria but in 1993 he returned to Lazio. For 11 years he was European scout for the Biancocelesti and it was he who “discovered” Dejan Stankovic. He worked with managers Zdenek Zeman, Dino Zoff and Sven-Goran Eriksson.
He is currently technical consultant for ASD Ad Maiora.
