Brambati began his career at Torino, but he first established himself as a first-team footballer during a two-season loan spell at Empoli.[1] He moved to Bari, whom he went on to captain, in 1989, winning the Mitropa Cup with the Italian club in 1990. He spent four seasons at the club before finishing his career with spells at Lucchese, Palermo, Ternana and Saronno.[1]
After representing the Italy under-21 side at the 1988 Under-21 European Championships, Brambati was also a member of the Italy under-23 olympic squad that reached the semi-finals of the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, under Cesare Maldini, eventually finishing in fourth place.[2]
Following his retirement in 1999, Brambati has regularly appeared on the football show Diretta Stadio on 7 Gold.[3]
Brambati was married to the Romanian model Catrinel Menghia.[4]
