Alfredo Napoleoni was born on November 29, 1937 in Rome.
He started playing for Garbatella and in 1955 moved to Lazio. After a year in the youth team and a few matches in the reserves team (which won the title), he debuted in Serie A on April 27, 1958, in the game against Torino. He played four league games that season and also appeared in two matches in Coppa Italia scoring a goal against Palermo in the first game. Lazio would then go on and win the Cup in September, but he had been loaned to Catania in Serie B.
He did well but for the 1959-60 season he was again on loan this time in Serie C with Cral Cirio. He came back to Rome in 1960 but made only 9 appearances.
After playing three games in 1962, in the autumn transfer window he was sold to Sambenedettese in Serie B. Despite being relegated to Serie C he stayed on but in 1964 he left to play for Taranto in Serie C where he played until 1970 to then retire. Once he stopped playing he stayed on and worked as an insurer.
Napoleoni had a decent career, but the highlight was his contribution to Lazio’s first silverware.
