Career

Michelotti began his career in football as a goalkeeper, before becoming a referee in Serie A in 1967. In 1973, Michelotti was appointed a FIFA referee.

At club level, Michelotti officiated the 1975 Coppa Italia Final between Fiorentina and Milan in Rome on 28 June; the former side won the match 3–2.[1] He was also in charge of refereeing the second leg of the 1979 UEFA Cup Final between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Red Star Belgrade, on 23 May, which ended in a 1–0 home victory to the former club, which in turn saw the German side claim the title 2–1 on aggregate.[2]

The following season, he also officiated the 1980 Coppa Italia Final between Roma and Torino in Rome on 17 May, which ended in 3–2 penalty shoot-out victory to the former team following a 0–0 draw after extra-time.[3] He officiated the third Coppa Italia final of his career in the following year, against the same two opponents, the second leg of a 1–1 draw on 17 June, in Turin; following a 2–2 aggregate draw after extra-time, Roma once again prevailed on penalties, winning 4–2.[4]

At international level, in 1976, Michelotti was appointed a referee for the 1976 Summer Olympics, where he officiated two matches. Four years later, Michelotti was appointed a referee for UEFA Euro 1980, where he officiated a group stage match between Czechoslovakia and West Germany.[5] Michelotti retired from officiating in 1981.
