Born in Rome on January 1, 1944, Giusto Puri Purini began his career, even before graduating in architecture in Venice, as a set designer for some of Roberto Rossellini’s TV films, including “The Acts of the Apostles” and “Socrates”. He then worked as project manager for Vivai Del Sud from 1972 to 1977 for Piero, Giorgio and Gianfranco Di Pierri, one of Rome’s leading designers.
He was the protagonist of a long collaboration with architects Gepy and Maurizio Mariani, and in 1978 founded the Puri Purini architecture studio, with which he promotes the image of Italian design and architecture worldwide.
