About Antonio Botta

Lived 1896 – 1969 (aged 72). Antonio Botta was an Argentine screenwriter, film director, playwright and theatre director.

Antonio Botta (10 December 1896 - 10 May 1969) was a Spanish language dramatist and screenwriter. He was born in Brazil, but it was in Argentina that he built his career and made his name.

Biography Antonio Botta was born in the Brazilian city of São Paulo. His first important premier came in 1926 with "Falucho", a one-act musical drama vignette, performed at the Porteño Theatre ("Teatro Porteño") in Buenos Aires by the Luis Arata company. Three years later, in 1939, Botta himself tried his hand at directing, with his production of Bartolo tenía una flauta (loosely, "Bartolo had a flute"), starring Luis Sandrini.

Antonio Botta also wrote a number of radio plays and several songs. The composition caught the spirit of the age: the well known tango performer Carlos Gardel made a recording. Another particularly successful collaboration by Botta and Lomuto, albeit with a very different spirit, was "La canción del deporte" (loosely, "The song of sports"). In 1947 Antonio Botta and Francisco undertook a successful tour of Spain together.
