1965

In 1972, he was promoted to UEFA and received the important Mauro Award in Italy.

In 1975, he refereed the European Super Cup final match.

1976

At international level, he refereed in the 1976 European Championship final between Czechoslovakia and West Germany.

1978

He was the first ever Italian appointed to referee the final of the FIFA World Cup which occurred when he took charge of the 1978 final between hosts Argentina and the Netherlands.

He is one of only two persons (the other being the Swiss Gottfried Dienst) to have refereed the finals of both the UEFA European Championship and the FIFA World Cup.

He also later refereed in the 1978 FIFA World Cup, after which he retired, having refereed 175 matches in Serie A. From 1998 to 2000 he was also president of the Italian Referee Association (AIA) and member of the UEFA Arbitration Commission between 1998 and 2000.

Gonella garnered media attention when he delayed the start of the 1978 FIFA World Cup final.

This occurred when the Argentinians protested an arm cast worn by Dutch player René van de Kerkhof.

The Dutch team argued that the cast was passed by FIFA and had already been worn by Van de Kerkhof during earlier matches in the tournament, and they threatened to walk off the field.

Finally an extra layer of padding was applied to the cast as a solution, and the match was started.
