Early life
Born in Cianciana (AG), Sicily, to parents Gaetano di Giovanni and Filippa Guida. His father owned a large holding of the countryside around Cianciana including several sulfur mines. Di Giovanni's later poetic works were influenced by the rugged mountains and isolated fields of the Platani Valley[3] in which his birthplace of Cianciana can be found. At age 12 he moved with his family to Palermo, Sicily.
