His last two seasons with A.S. Roma were hampered by serious knee injuries, but that did not stop him from playing on the team that won the 1960–61 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup; he scored a goal in the competition against Union Saint-Gilloise and played in the final.

Overall, he played for 14 seasons in the Serie A for A.C. Torino and A.S. Roma (267 games, 21 goals).

He played his only game for the Italy national football team on 27 November 1955 against Hungary.
