*Born in Milan, Italy, in 1931, Massimo decided at the age of 14 that he wanted to be an architect, and at 16 he began working as an architectural draftsman. After studying art and architecture in Venice and Milan, he worked for a renowned glass manufacturer on the island of Murano. He met his wife, Lella Elena Valle Vignelli, while they were both studying at the University of Venice School of Architecture. They studied in the U.S. before returning to their home country to start a design firm. In the mid-1960s, Vignelli joined six other architects in forming Unimark International, which produced corporate identities for the world’s largest brands of the time; Unimark became one of the world’s largest and most influential design firms. Vignelli opened its New York office, but left the company later as it diversified and placed more emphasis on marketing. See less
