Lazio in 1931 alongside Filó, Armando Del Debbio and Rato Castelli.[1] De Maria also scored the first goal of the history of Parque São Jorge stadium.[2]
International career
editIn his international career, De Maria played unofficial friendlies for Brazil from 1928 to 1931, such as a match against Ferencváros, and a few more matches for Italy between 1932 and 1934.[3]
