皮埃特罗• 阿尼戈尼(Pietro Annigoni 1910年-1988年)，1910年6月7日生于意大利米兰。父亲里查德是一个工程师，母亲泰瑞•荷波堤出生在美国旧金山，是意大利人。阿尼戈尼兄弟三人，他排行老二。由于父亲的工作性质决定全家不得不经常搬迁，他和两个弟兄就在搬迁中度过童年。起先住在布来西亚，继而到米兰，而后长住在佛罗伦萨。

佛罗伦萨是意大利文艺复兴和欧洲文化的发祥地，文化底蕴十分深厚，艺术家辈出。乔托、达•芬奇、米开朗琪罗等一些艺术巨匠都出自这个城市。阿尼戈尼在这样的环境里成长，自然从小就接受了传统艺术的熏陶。少年时代他就读于佛罗伦萨的斯考罗毕神父学校，后来又进入附属于艺术家中心的努督学校。1927年考入佛罗伦萨美术学院，受教于画家费利切•卡瑞纳、雕塑家朱赛佩-格柱齐奥西、版画家切来斯提诺•切来斯提尼。在这一时期里阿尼戈尼打下了扎实的绘画基础。

从他早期素描中可以清晰地看到以达-芬奇为代表的佛罗伦萨派传统的素描技法和风格，用线条造型，注重中间色层次的微妙变化，准确、细腻、富有优雅的美感。20世纪20年代末30年代初的阿尼戈尼从师俄国画家尼古拉•洛克夫学习油性坦培拉(tempera grassa)技巧。这种油性坦培拉技法实际上也是佛罗伦萨传统的绘画技法，是坦培拉即蛋彩画的一种。它首先要求画家具有坚实的素描造型能力，同时必须掌握蛋彩画的技法和油画技巧，阿尼戈尼很快掌握了油性坦培拉技法并且运用得十分自如。
