[3] He was also a clever rower of the Armida Rowing Club in Turin.

As a young man, Bosio was a merchant worker in the British "Thomas Adams" textile industry,[4] as part of his work he had the opportunity to live in Nottingham, England for a while and experienced the game of football.

[3] Upon returning to his native Turin in 1886 he was determined to spread the word of football in his homeland; he brought back a leather ball and founded Torino Football and Cricket Club that year.

He even lured the famous Herbert Kilpin into Italian football, when he was hired to work for Bosio in the textiles industry.

In 1900 Bosio remained with the club as they merged into FBC Torinese, picking up another runner-up spot and notably scoring a hat-trick against Milan in the semi-finals of the Italian Football Championship which made him the topscorer of the tournament.
