阿尔贝托-布拉利亚是意大利早期男子体操运动员，十二岁之前，他一直是自己训练，他是奥运会史上第一个个人全能成功卫冕者。1908年在第四届伦敦夏季奥运会的体操比赛中获得个人全能金牌。
获得金牌后，布拉利亚发现靠体育难以为生，因此他利用他的体操基础，靠在外面表演“人类鱼雷”来挣钱养生，为此他的肩部和肋骨都曾经骨折，当他四岁的儿子夭折的时候，他又在精神上遭受到了沉重的打击。
同时因为参加公开演出，他被意大利国家体操队开除。但是他保留了他的业余运动员身份，成功获得参加1912年在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的夏季奥运会资格，并且在这次奥运会上成功卫冕个人全能金牌，同时在这届奥运会上，他还为意大利夺得男子团体金牌，也为自己夺得第三枚奥运会金牌。
1932年，布拉利亚执教意大利体操队，并带队在洛杉矶奥运会上取得优异成绩。
