Summary

Massimiliano Fuksas was born in Rome on 9 January 1944 to a father of Lithuanian origin who worked as a doctor and an Italian mother who taught philosophy. He spent the early years of his life first in Rome and then in Vienna, before returning to Italy where he studied under the poet Giorgio Caproni and frequented the studio of Giorgio de Chirico. In the capital he set up his first professional studio with Anna Maria Sacconi in 1967, and two years later graduated with a degree in architecture from La Sapienza University under the tutelage of Ludovico Quaroni and Bruno Zevi.
