Page "Aldo Giorgini" Paragraph 2

Formally trained by Italian Futurist painter-sculptor Ambrogio Casati, Giorgini stayed on with his mentor as an apprentice, and assisted in the restoration of classic works by old masters damaged during the Second World War.

Simultaneously attending university coursework outside of his work in the arts, Giorgini earned a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino before travelling to the United States on a Fulbright Scholarship.

There, Giorgini earned a second doctorate, this time a Ph. D. in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University, and accepted a professorial position in the School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.

He moved to Lafayette, Indiana, on 22 December 1968.
