Tulio Bonadeo was born on April 3 1905 in Cerreto Grue, near Alessandria.
He started playing as goalkeeper for Sampierderanese in 1924. In 1927 the fascist government forced a merger with another Genoa team, Andrea Doria, and he played for the new club, called La Dominante, until 1929.
For the first Serie A league of 1929-30, Bonadeo became Lazio’s second goalkeeper. He stayed for four years in the capital as number two behind the legendary Ezio Sclavi. He obviously did not have much playing time, just six appearances (one must also consider that there were no substitutes at the time), and in his last season he never played for the first team.
In 1932 he signed for Derthona where he stayed another 3 years before his final season back at Sampierdarenese who by that time had returned after the collapse of La Dominante.
Bonadeo won the World University Championships three times, in 1927 in Rome, 1928 in Paris and 1930 in Darmstadt.
While he was at Lazio, he also played for the water polo team, in goal obviously. He was also an amateur cyclist.
He died in Sampierdarena on January 24 1968.
