Giorgetto Giugiaro

Giorgetto Giugiaro was born in Garessio, Italy on August 7, 1938. Upon moving to Turin, Giorgetto studied at the School of Art in the mornings and attended drawing classes at night.


During a school design competition, Dante Giacosa, then FIAT’s technical area director, identified Giorgetto’s talent and in a short time, he put him to work as a style designer at the Turin house.

Being there 4 years, he became the manager of the Bertone Style Center. Nuccio Bertone deposited his trust in him and that decision was rewarded.
