Although his major-league tenure lasted only one year, he was the senior umpire in the Triple-A International League for 14 seasons (1953 to 1966)[2] and his stepson, Terry Tata, umpired in the Senior Circuit for 27 seasons (1973 to 1999) and 3,743 regular-season games.[3]

Guglielmo umpired a full slate of 154 regular-season games in 1952, including 42 games behind home plate and 39 at first base.[1] He ejected ten uniformed personnel—five of them members of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who won the National League pennant that season.

Guglielmo died in his native city at the age of 81.
