He was the number two goalkeeper to Giovanni Galli in Italy's squad at Mexico 86. He made a total of 12 caps with the national team. In 1987, during a game against A.C. Milan at the San Siro, he was hit on the head by a firework thrown by a Milan supporter. He stopped breathing for a short time but was eventually resuscitated by paramedics.
