He has previously represented the San Marino under-19's, and scored an own goal for Italy in a Euro 2010 (under-19) qualification game at the Stadio Olimpico on 15 November 2009; the team managed to keep a clean sheet until 71 minutes, at which point Brolli's own goal led to a 4–0 loss.

Brolli made his senior debut from the bench on 14 August 2012, in a 3–2 home defeat to Malta. He made his first start on 11 September 2012, in a 6–0 home loss to Montenegro in qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

In San Marino's home Euro qualifier against England, Brolli scored an own goal as the Three Lions won 6–0.

He scored another own goal for his country against Belgium on 10 October, 2019. Belgium won the game with 9–0.

Brolli then again for the third time scored an own goal, this time in a friendly game against Latvia on 11 November, 2020. The Sammarinese side were defeated by 3–0.

In March 2021, in another game against the Three Lions, Brolli is expected to add another own goal to the tally.
