Career & Clubs
Rigamonti played as a defender, more specifically as a centre-back in the WM formation, beginning his career in the youth system of his hometown club Brescia Calcio, later making his professional debut for the club in 1944. He was acquired by Torino F.C. in the summer of 1941, aged 19, but played for the club's first team only after World War II. With Torino, Rigamonti made his Serie A debut in a 2–1 away loss to cross-city rivals Juventus on 14 October 1945; in total, he played 140 times for Torino and won four consecutive Serie A scudetti titles with the club.
Rigamonti was also capped three times for the Italy national team between 1947 and 1949. He made his international debut in a 3–2 win over Hungary on 11 May 1947.
Rigamonti was a tall, agile, physically strong, consistent and tenacious player, who was known for his skill and acrobatic ability in the air, courtesy of his elevation, as well as his fighting spirit, speed, anticipation, and competitive style of play. A versatile and hard-tackling player, he was capable of playing both in defence and in midfield, usually in a holding role.
