His nickname, Sentimenti IV, comes from the fact that he is the fourth of five brothers – Ennio (I), Arnaldo (II), Vittorio (III) and Primo (V) - all of whom but the eldest were also professional footballers.

After starting his career with Modena, Sentimenti played football for several other Italian clubs, including Juventus and Lazio.

Nicknamed "Cochi", he was a reliable, tenacious and composed goalkeeper, who was known for his intelligence and speed when rushing off his line to anticipate his opponents with his feet, as well as his ability to come out and collect crosses or punch the ball clear, despite his small stature, due to his athleticism, command of his area, and strong physique.

An excellent shot-stopper between the posts, he was also known for his agility, handling, consistency, composure, and positional sense, although at times he was caught out from distance throughout his career.
