Biography

His Italian father, a professor of singing, was first engraver before becoming an industrial designer for the goldsmith of the jewellery. [biographical elements from Joseph Uzanne,"Album"Mariani, Librairie Henri Floury, Paris, vol III, 1897, p. 117-119, and Henri Béraldi,"The DVD of the nineteenth century", vol VII, 1888, p . 117-119, and Henri Béraldi,"The DVD of the nineteenth century", vol VII, 1888, p. 105-108. ] But when he was 30 years old, a serious illness forces him to go away from Paris. He then started to draw and paint plants, insects and birds around his new and spectacular house. Making lots of money in Paris, he developed a passion for the work of Auguste Raffet, which he published the catalog "racist" in 1862. He worked with Gustave Doré, for which he composed ornaments like "The Holy Bible according to the Vulgate", published in 1866. He contributed drawings to several newspapers, such as The World illustrated, The Store picturesque and Illustration. He also privately illustrated books that brought him wealthy bibliophiles. He was one of the organizers of the exposition of the century prints of 1887 and Section retrospective of Fine Arts, the Universal Paris Exposition of 1889. Illustrating on top of other artists like Jules Michelet, André Theuriet François Coppée and Alfred de Musset, Giacomelli also became a renowned collector. He has written Henri Béraldi, the most beautiful collection of prints of known the nineteenth century. It is a passion, delusional, a rabbit. Who has not seen Giacomelli looking at a burning high-quality saw nothing.
