Professional career

In September 1948, Tontodonati was initially acquired by Inter alongside Tommaso Maestrelli, but he was immediately transferred to Roma under manager Fulvio Bernardini as part of the deal that sent Amedeo Amadei to Milan.
Tontodonati scored in the ninth minute on his debut for Roma against Bologna in the opening match of the season. He added two goals in his second appearance, scoring in the 10th and 68th minutes of a 4–2 win over Triestina, helping Roma start the season with consecutive victories.
Roma were defeated 4–0 in their third match and ultimately finished the season in 14th place. Tontodonati was the club's leading scorer that season and continued to be a regular contributor over the following two years. He left the club after the 1950–51 season, during which Roma were relegated for the first time in their history.
