Scattolin won his first 3 fights including a 5th round TKO of Hans Gunter Huber(7-36-4,5KO). Then in March 1961 Scattolin faced Piero Del Papa who was 3-0 also in his early career. Del Papa out pointed Scattolin in 6 rounds. Scattolin then won 10 of his next 11 bouts, including an 8 round decision over Ottavio Panunzi(21-12-0,10KO) and after a 6 round draw with Manfred Lessmann, Scattolin then fought Del Papa in June 1963 for the Italian LHW Title. Del Papa was 19-0-2 at the time. The fight was stopped in the 11th round because of rain and declared a no contest. They fought again in September, 3 months later, this time Del Papa winning a 12 round decision.
After a win when his opponent was DQ'd in the 4th round a month after the loss to Del Papa, Scattolin then lost his next four bouts to Benito Michelon, Klaus Peter Gumpert, Vittorio Saraudi and Alfredo Vogrig. After a draw with Vogrig and a meaningless win, Scattolin then lost a 10 round decision to an undefeated (21-0-0) Giovanni Biancardi in June 1966. He fought twice more in 1966 knocking out Adriano Rosati(22-16-4,10KO) and loosing a decision to Lothar Stengel.
Six months after fighting no one after the loss to Stengel, Scattolin was giving another shot at the Italian LHW Title, in 1967, this time against Vittorio Saraudi. It was another 12 round decision loss for Scattolin. After that Scattolin fought only twice in 1968 defeating Cosimo Bruno and Flavio Mazzoni(9-1-0,6KO), and then lost an 8 round decision to Chris Finnegan in October 1970 after two years of inactivity in the ring. In March 1971 he lost a 10 round decision to Conny Velensek.
In September 1971 Scattolin fought one last time for the Italian LHW Title, this time against Domenico Adinolfi. Again another 12 round loss for Scattolin. Five months later a 7th round KO to Kosie Smith sent Scattoln into retirement.
