Ginulfi played for 12 seasons (188 games) in the Serie A for Italian clubs A.S. Roma, Hellas Verona F.C., and ACF Fiorentina, winning titles with Roma.[1][2]
He is one of the very few goalkeepers who can boast that he saved a penalty kick by Brazilian former footballer Pelé, who is widely regarded as the greatest footballer of all time. Ginulfi saved the penalty in a friendly match between Roma and Santos on 3 March 1972.[3]
Ginulfi was considered an extremely consistent and modern goalkeeper for his time.[1]
