He played regularly on the European Tour from the late 1970s to the early 1990s and finished a career high 40th on the European Tour Order of Merit in 1980, the year in which he won his home national open, the Italian Open. That was to be his only European Tour win. He was the last Italian golfer to win the event until Francesco Molinari did so in 2006.
