He grew up in Milan, in 1955-56 was sent to Trieste to gain experience. In Trieste only one year: the ringed performance and safety with which he jousts in that tournament with Triestina, Rossoneri convince the leadership to bring him home.

In the summer of 1960, Milan decided to monetize his sale, and that of Schiaffino, yielding both to Rome. In the shadow of the Colosseum, Fontana continued to play at a profit, usually a fullback, which led all the goodness of the operation that led him in red and yellow. His Roma adventure ends after four excellent years, due to a disagreement with Evangelisti that the cost to transfer to Sampdoria, where his performance drops suddenly, as if the departure from Rome was a too heavy blow.
