He is the 4th in a row and most successful of the 5 Sentimenti brothers, that stared in Italian football for more than 30 years (mid ’30s-mid ’60s): Ennio (I, half), Arnaldo (II, keeper), Vittorio (III, inside-for) and Primo (V, back/half).
For 2 seasons in the early ’50s, Lazio fielded occasionally 3 Sentimentis (photo)!

Playing also as an attacker in his youth for Modena (22 goals in 2 seasons, even a penalty-kick against his own brother Arnaldo of Napoli), he latter became one of the first-ever goalkeepers to score not from the penalty spot. In 1944, suffering from broken fingers, he played for Juventus several matches as an outside-for (along with Vittorio), scoring 5 goals!

In 2010, 90 years-old Lucidio received a honorary award from the hands of Alessandro "Capitano" Del Piero, as one of Juventus oldest living legends.

Sentimentis come from Bomporto, Modena and their footballing heritage also includes cousin Lino (back), nephew Roberto (for), while today’s Andrea is the 3rd goalkeeper of the family history.
