Bertoni was born in the Italian village Codisotto in the Emilia-Romagna region. From 1946 to 1952, after the Wolrd War II, he studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna in Vienna Fritz Wotruba. He soon became a professor at the Art Academy in the Meisterklasse Bildhauerei. He already took part in exhibitions in 1947 and won his first sculpture prize in 1950 for work in the public space. His work was figurative, but already influenced by Cubism, as we can see with the "Icarrus" sculpture here displayed. His works in wood and stone, abstract, mainly inspired by sculptor Alexander Archipenko, Constantin Brancusi and Max Bill, his later works would be characterized by their symbolism. He received in 1958 the Preis der Stadt Wien für Bildende Art in the sculpture department and in 2009 the Austrian Ehrenkreuz für Wissenschaft und Kunst 1. Klasse.
