Club career
Born in Naples on 26 December 1942,[2] Juliano spent the majority of his club career at home-town club Napoli, after coming through their youth ranks;[3][4] he won two Coppa Italia (in 1962 and 1976),[5] as well as the Coppa delle Alpi (in 1966) and the Anglo-Italian League Cup (in 1976).[3][6]
After leaving Napoli in 1978, he played for one more season with Bologna, before retiring in 1979.[4][6][7]
International career
Juliano earned 18 caps for the Italian senior national team between 1966 and 1974,[1] and was a member of the squad that won UEFA Euro 1968.[3][5]
Juliano was also included in the Italian squad for three different FIFA World Cups, having taken part in the competition in 1966,[8] in 1970[9] – where the Azzurri finished as runners-up –[3][5][10] and in 1974.[11] However, he only ever played one World Cup match, coming on as a substitute in a 4–1 defeat to Brazil in the 1970 World Cup final.[6][10]
Style of play
A creative playmaker, Juliano was renowned in particular for his leadership skills,[3][7] as well as his vision, ball control, stamina, and passing range.[7][12]
After retirement
After retiring, Juliano returned to Napoli as a sporting director;[7] while serving in this role, he oversaw the acquisitions of several players that contributed to the club's first national title in 1987, including Ruud Krol and Diego Maradona.[13][3][5]

Juliano died in Naples on 13 December 2023, at the age of 80,[3][4][7] following a short period of hospitalization.[3][4]
