Massa began his youth career with Flegrea, before joining local side Internapoli in 1965, whose home stadium was the Stadio Arturo Collana in the Vomero region of Naples.
His performances caught the attention of Lazio, and he subsequently joined the club in 1966, remaining with the team until 1972, scoring 31 goals in 137 appearances and forming a notable offensive partnership with striker Giorgio Chinaglia, playing in a creative role; together, they helped the club obtain promotion to Serie A during the 1971–72 season, while Chinaglia finished the season as the league's top-scorer, largely thanks to Massa's assists.
[1][2] A mobile and diminutive winger, Massa was a traditional number 7, who was known in particular for his speed, technique, dribbling skills, and eye for goal, as well as his ability to create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates.
