He spent four seasons at the club before finishing his career with spells at Lucchese, Palermo, Ternana and Saronno.
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.
