Vullo, standing at 1.98 m for 87 kg, was born in Massa, Tuscany, Massa, and played as setter (although at the beginning of his long career was employed also as hitter). Vullo revolutionized the role of the setter, because he was, along with the Dutch Peter Blangé, one of the first setters in the world capable to set the ball from a greater height and to be dangerous in attack, block, and serve.
