Joseph Giunta, of Sicilian origin, was born on October 2, 1911 in Montreal.
His father, who had ambitions as a lawyer or doctor, opposed the artistic career he dreamed of undertaking. However, in 1925, at the age of 14, the young Giunta enrolled in evening drawing classes at the Monument National under the direction of Adrien Hébert and Johnny Johnston.
