Biography
His parents, who lived in Tiflis, decided to flee to Switzerland, where his father, Giorgio, had previously studied. Giorgio was born on February 28, 1934 on a ship departing from Ukraine to Italy. The family was stuck in Italy before and during the Second World War, when their village was ruled by fascist Italy and Nazi Germany [4] .
There, during curfew, Giorgio began to listen to jazz records. When American troops arrived there, he became acquainted with both jazz and blues. His life changed forever. His family first went to Ascona in the Italian Swiss canton of Ticino , thus settling in a neutral country, where he attended the Benedictine school [4] .
His father will later work in the famous casinos of his wife's hometown Monte-Carlo , which at that time was the favorite refuge of wealthy Britons. After the divorce, Giorgio's mother, being an Anglophile and a modist , moved to London, where she made hats for the British royal family and the aristocracy for such events as Royal Ascot. Giorgio, who traveled in the postwar years, joined her in London in 1955 [4] .
