Club career
Olivieri was born in San Michele Extra, Verona. Nicknamed Ercolino Semprimpiedi ("Always-Standing Little Hercules"), a famous definition of Italian journalist Gianni Brera, he played for Hellas Verona, Lucchese, and Brescia in Serie B, and Torino in Serie A.
International career
With the Italy national football team, Olivieri became World Champion in 1938.
Style of play
A courageous, spectacular and athletic shot-stopper, Olivieri is regarded as one of Italy's greatest ever goalkeepers; throughout his career, he was known in particular for his reflexes, intelligence, and ability to rush off his line, which earned him the nickname il Gatto Magico (the magic cat).
Death
He died in Lido di Camaiore at 90 years old. He was the penultimate survivor of the 1938 winning team squad. The last member, who died on 5 November 2006, was defender Pietro Rava.
