Gotti graduated from the Bologna Conservatory after studying composition and choral music under Adone Zecchi; he learned piano with Giuseppe Piccioli and further studied conducting with Hans Swarowsky, Franco Ferrara, and Lovro Von Matacic.

In 1967, Tito Gotti launched an experimental music festival at Teatro Comunale di Bologna. In June 1978, Gotti joined forces with composers Walter Marchetti and Juan Hidalgo to commission John Cage for a unique musical happening on a moving train, where performers traveled with the audience and engaged in curated activities at each station. Other participants included sound engineer Oderso Rubini, who prepared field recordings from various towns and villages on the route, as well as Demetrio Stratos and Daniel Charles. The Cage's Train drew worldwide attention to Festi Musicali a Bologna, which subsequently branched out as an independent organization and partnered with many notable institutions and events, including , , , , and . Gotti directed 31 editions, featuring prominent European composers and performers, from Karlheinz Stockhausen and Bruno Maderna to Severino Gazzelloni and Salvatore Accardo, until his retirement in 2003.
