Harry Bertoia Biography by Celia Bertoia
Harry Bertoia was born on March 10, 1915 in the small village of San Lorenzo, Udine, Italy, about 50 miles north of Venice. He had one brother, Oreste, and one sister, Ave. Another sister died at just a few months old (she was the subject of one of his first paintings). After attending high school in Arzene, Carsara, till age 15, he accompanied his father to Detroit to visit his brother Oreste. Instead of returning to Italy, Bertoia stayed behind to attend Cass Technical High School, a public school with special programs for talented students in art and sciences.
