During 1943 they started to play bridge with reference to a Culbertson book from 1933.

After the war he returned to Cairo "and met better bridge players and I improved my game reading more recent books and playing the dummy on Auto Bridge."

1961

He won 13 world championship titles with the Italian Blue Team, starting in 1961 when he was added as a last minute substitute for the Bermuda Bowl, playing in regular partnerships with Pietro Forquet to 1972 and then with Giorgio Belladonna.

During those championship years he came to be considered by many experts the world's best bridge player.

Garozzo was born in Naples, Italy, at a time when his family lived primarily in Cairo, Egypt, but Naples was a second, summer home of his mother, four sisters and brother.

At age six his brother taught him tresette, a partnership trick-taking game with dummy play.

He also learned chess from his brother.

During World War II, he lived at a sister's home in Naples, where family and friends played partnership games including tresette.

The Blue Team as "Italy" won nine consecutive then-annual world championships, all of the seven Bermuda Bowl and two quadrennial World Team Olympiad tournaments from 1961 to 1969, retired for two years, and returned to win the 1972 Olympiad.

The Blue Team had used six players without any change in personnel for the latter seven of those ten tournaments.

1972

Three of them retired after 1972, including Belladonna's longtime partner Walter Avarelli.

Belladonna–Garozzo then established a partnership and co-created their advanced version of the Precision Club system called "Super Precision".

1973

With four other players sometimes including Forquet, they won for Italy three more world team championships in succession, the 1973 to 1975 Bermuda Bowls.
