Monzeglio was born in Vignale Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria (Piedmont).

In his nineteen-year career, which lasted from 1924 to 1943, he played for Casale, Bologna (where he was victorious in the 1928-29 championship) and Roma.[1] For the Italian national team he won two World Cup finals, in 1934 and 1938.
