Known for
1950 is the season: Mr Pacific Coast, Mr Western America, Mr Los Angeles and Mr Southwest, all outright, all in one year. He was runner-up at the Mr California in the same season and again in 1951.
He had won the medium class at Mr New York City and Mr East Coast in 1946, and won the Iron Man in 1955 after placing second there in 1953.
Early career
His first recorded contest is second place at the 1942 Mr New York City. The last is a masters win at the 1961 Mr Pacific Coast, nineteen years later.
The record moves from New York in the 1940s to California in the 1950s, which is the same journey the sport itself made.

Legacy
Bodybuilding before 1960 is barely present online at all beyond a handful of famous names. Nicoletti won eight titles across two decades and two coasts and is not one of them.
Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 1942 to 1961. This is among the oldest records we hold and it should be read as a floor rather than a complete account.
Contests of this era awarded a height or weight CLASS title and then a separate OVERALL title, and several also gave a Most Muscular award. In the table below, a class win and an overall placing at the same contest are both correct and are not a contradiction, and a Most Muscular row is an award given at that contest rather than a win of it.
