Diego Giacometti | ![]() |
Diego Giacometti was born in 1902 in Borgonovo, Switzerland, a village near the Italian border in the Bregaglia Valley. The son of the painter Giovanni Giacometti, brother of Alberto Giacometti, he grew up in a protected, warm, and friendly family atmosphere among the animals on their farm. In 1904, the family moved to Stampa, in the canton of Graubünden. After studying business in Basel and St. Gallen, at the age of twenty-five, on the advice of his mother Annetta, he joined his brother Alberto in Paris. Alberto Giacometti was then a student of the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. The three Giacometti sons turned to the visual arts: Alberto and Diego to painting and sculpture, and Bruno (1907-2012) to architecture. | |
