Born in Criciuma, Brazil, Burato began playing Futsal as a young child before moving to Italy where he carved out a 17-year professional career playing for Vesevo, Montesilvano, Real Rieti, Pescara, Pesaro Fano, Feldi Eboli, and Tombesi. Burato totaled 143 goals in 392 official matches during his 13-year professional futsal career, playing in two UEFA Futsal Champions League tournaments, one FIFA Club World Cup winning an Italian Serie A and Coppa Italia title.

While playing for Montesilvano, Burato first dipped his toe into coaching with the club’s academy but moved to the United States to be closer to his father and played professional indoor soccer for the Mesquite Outlaws and Dallas Sidekicks of the Major Arena Soccer League from 2019-2021. Upon gaining his U.S. citizenship in 2022, Burato began representing the U.S. Futsal MNT, appearing in seven matches, including all four games at the 2024 Concacaf Futsal Championship.
