Valentino Panciera Besarel was born in Val Zoldana, Italy. Growing up in poverty despite his father's and grandfather’s recognized work, Besarel was unable to have a regular education. Training and working at his father's workshop was only after Giuseppe Segusini saw him at work that he was able to attend the Venice Academy. He moved to Venice in the 60s and set up a workshop and despite having lost four of his fingers, received great honors and European so much so that he became the official supplier of the major continental monarchies.
