At the age of 18, Bruno Bolchi of F.C. Internazionale Milano made his Serie A debut against S.S.C. Napoli on May 18, 1958. He played for the Nerazzurri for six seasons, gaining 109 caps, ten goals, and the nickname “Maciste” for to his intimidating stature, strength, and aggressive style of play. He was the team captain from 1961 to 1962. He had a lot of success while playing for the team, winning the Serie A title in 1963 and the European Cup in 1964.
Before returning to the top division to play for Atalanta and Torino, where his playing days came to an end in 1970, he next played for Serie B outfit Verona. He had also won the Coppa Italia in 1968 with the latter club. All four of Bolchi’s appearances for Italy’s national team came in 1961. Bolchi started working as a coach in 1971 with Pro Patria, a Seconda Categoria team at the time (at the time, Seconda Categoria was the sixth level of Italian football).
In 1974, he started working as a qualified coach at Sorrento. He was also the coach of Pistoiese, which was promoted to Serie B after winning the Serie C championship in 1976–1977. In 1982, he took over as the head coach of Cesena, a Serie A side, but was unable to prevent its relegation.

Bolchi has only been able to achieve coaching in Serie A twice since then, despite having an extensive coaching career in Italy. After two consecutive promotions from Serie C1 (winning the 1983-84 Serie C1 title), Bolchi was unable to prevent the biancorossi from being relegated in 1985-86, his third season as Bari’s manager.
Before 2007, he was the head coach of Pisa in Serie A, but he was fired after the 22nd matchday. On April 23, 2007, with just five games remaining in the league, Bolchi was named head coach of Messina. In Serie C in 1975–1976 and Serie B at the end of the 2002–2003 season, he had previously served as club captain.
