Biography[edit]

Boscatto, born in Naples, Italy, was primarily a doubles player.

At the 1991 Mediterranean Games in Athens, Boscatto again partnered with Pescosolido and together they won a gold medal in the men's doubles, secured with a win over Spaniards Alberto Berasategui and Àlex Corretja.^[3]

On tour his biggest success was in reaching the final of an ATP Tour tournament in Genoa in 1991, with Massimo Ardinghi.^[4] He also won all of his three ATP Challenger doubles titles that year.
