Born and raised in Rome, Giambattista Valli holds a BA from Liceo as well a degree in Art.
Influenced by his city, his Roman roots, the movies of Antonioni and inspired by the discovery of French fashion through the watercolors of Yves Saint Laurent and the drawings of Gruau, Giambattista decided to pursue his dream by enrolling in fashion school, the Istituto Europeo del Design of Rome, in 1986.
In 1987 he began a foundation course in illustration at Central St. Martin's School of Arts in London.
