He served as Deputy of the Republic for the 15th Departmental Grouping – Itata and San Carlos – across five consecutive legislative periods from 1945 to 1964.
Born in San Carlos on 31 August 1901, he was the son of Carlos Montané and Elvira Castro. He married María Inés Ramírez Bahamondes in his hometown on 7 March 1925, and they had two children: Inés and Carlos.[1]
He studied at the Colegio San Ignacio of Santiago and at the Liceo de Concepción. Montané began his professional career as a customs employee in Penco and later in Talcahuano. He served as municipal treasurer of Quirihue, treasury inspector for Ñuble Province, section chief at the same institution, and provincial inspector of treasuries in Concepción and Arauco. He was also treasurer of Los Andes, accounting controller for the Corporación de Fomento de la Producción (CORFO), and later a member of its board of directors in 1948. He retired in 1954.[2]
