Camillo Fenilli was born on November 11, 1904 in Bergamo.
He started playing professionally at a very young age, 16, for Atalanta and stayed until 1925. He then signed for Juventus but in two years, despite winning the 1925-26 scudetto, played very little (just 3 appearances) so in 1927 he moved to Rome, to the right side of the Tiber.
With Lazio he made 22 appearances with one goal. The next year he was at Napoli. He did very well in a season characterised by the eighth-place battle with Lazio to qualify for the 1929-30 first Serie A. They would both qualify. He stayed in Naples until 1931 when he left for his military service and moved back to Turin. At Juve again, he never played any league games in 1931-32 and at the end of the season signed for Cosenza in First Division (third tier) where he stayed for two years before his final year as professional football player with Atalanta in 1934-35.
Immediately after he retired, he left for the Italo-Ethiopian War.
Fenili was a very good winger who could play either on the left or right, and very fast. He was unlucky at Lazio, arriving in a very mediocre year for the Biancocelesti.
He died on March 17, 1973 in Seriate, near Bergamo
