Wealthy patron and businessman, who raced in a lot of endurance events in South America. Cantoni started his career back in 1934 and specialised in road racing events and raced in Argentina and Brazil, as well as his homeland. He then founded Escuderia Bandeirantes to allow a few South American drivers, as well as himself, to go racing in Europe, taking full advantage of the change in rules in Grand Prix racing which was running to F2 rules in 1952, entering up to three Maserati A6GCM's. After his foray in Grand Prix, Cantoni returned to South America and retired shortly afterwards from racing.
