In 1952 he moved to Bergamo to play for Atalanta. He stayed there three years, all in Serie A, playing 97 league games with three goals.
In 1955 he signed for Lazio. It was his big chance to play in a top team but he did not fulfil expectations. He did however win the reserves league. He made 18 appearances and Lazio finished joint third with Inter. After just a season he was sold to Spal, also in Serie A.
At Ferrara he was one the most important players, becoming part of the backbone of the team that managed to avoid relegation and launch young players at the same time. He stayed for three years with 67 appearances and one goal.
Villa’s last two years of active football were spent with Pordenone and Pro Sesto. In his career he played 184 games in Serie A with 4 goals.
