Biography
Giancarlo Giammetti was a student of architecture in Rome when he met the young Valentino Garavani in Via Veneto in Rome on July 31, 1960.[2]
In 1989, he created with Valentino the Accademia Valentino, a cultural space located near Valentino's atelier in Rome, for the presentation of art exhibitions.[citation needed]
The Valentino fashion empire was later sold in 1998, to HDP, an Italian conglomerate, and, later, to the Marzotto group.[3] In 2007, Marzotto sold the company to Permira, a London-based private equity fund.
In popular culture
The relationship between Valentino and Giammetti and the events leading up the party in Rome, and the party itself, are covered in the 2008 film Valentino: The Last Emperor.
The book Private: Giancarlo Giammetti, published by Assouline, is a collection of photos "culled" "from 57,000 personal pictures" Giammetti "had catalogued".[4][5] A party, in Milan, was hosted by Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani to celebrate the book's release.[5] The party was attended by Anna Wintour, Georgia May Jagger, Joan Smalls, Olivia Palermo, and many others.[5]
