Career
He was an aviator as a young man, but later found a career in film, where he debuted as a director in a 1937 short film, Fórmula secreta, in which he used his flying experience for the making of numerous scenes. He directed his first full-length title, Florencio Parravicini"s comedy vehicle, Noches de carnaval, later that year. Saraceni was best known for directing comedies, and worked with many of the best known local figures in the genre, including Parravicini, Fidel Pintos, Niní Marshall, José Marrone.
Carlos Balá, Lolita Torres and Pepe Biondi.
Saraceni directed popular musician Sandro"s El deseo de vivir in 1972, and one of the series of Superagentes capers in 1986 (his last film). He dedicated himself to documentaries and made-for-television titles afterwards, and worked extensively for Channel 9 and Telefé.
He suffered a stroke in 1988, however, and remained hemiplegic in later years. Saraceni lived half a block away from the site of the 1994 American Medical Informatics Association bombing, the worst terrorist attack in Argentine history, but survived.
