Born in Ponte Nossa, in the [[province of Bergamo]], [[Lombardy]], Perani came through the [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]] youth system before joining the senior side. During his club career, he played for several other [[Italy|Italian]] teams, such as [[Bologna F.C. 1909|Bologna]] and [[Calcio Padova|Padova]]. He joined Bologna in 1958, where he spent most of his career, 15 seasons in total, remaining with the team until the [[1973–74 Serie A|1973–74 season]], aside from a brief stint away during the [[1959–60 Serie A|1959–60 season]]. Although Perani initially struggled to break into the starting line-up with the Bolognese side, due to competition from other players, he later won a starting shirt over several other wingers in the side, such as [[Bruno Pace]], [[Antonio Renna]], and [[Giovanni Vastola]], inheriting [[Cesarino Cervellati]]'s role on the right flank. Perani formed a formidable partnership with fellow winger [[Ezio Pascutti]]; together, they helped Bologna win the [[Serie A]] title during the [[1963–64 Serie A|1963–64 season]], and Perani even set up [[Harald Nielsen]]'s goal in a decisive 2–0 win over [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]] in the Serie A playoff match at the [[Stadio Olimpico]] in Rome, on 7 June 1964, which allowed Bologna to claim the league title. In total, he made 322 appearances for Bologna, scoring 70 goals, also winning two [[Coppa Italia]] titles with the club.<ref name=sposa/><ref name="storiedicalcio">{{cite web|url=http://storiedicalcio.altervista.org/blog/marino_perani.html|title=MARINO PERANI: SEMPRE ALL'ALA|publisher=Storie di Calcio|language=it|access-date=4 January 2017|archive-date=5 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170105085538/http://storiedicalcio.altervista.org/blog/marino_perani.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Perani closed his career with [[North American Soccer League (1968–1984)|NASL]] side [[Toronto Metros-Croatia]] in [[1975 North American Soccer League season|1975]].
