Editing Rembrandt Bugatti (section)

==Early life==
Born in [[Milan]] into an artistic family, Rembrandt Bugatti was the second son of [[Carlo Bugatti]] and his wife, Teresa Lorioli. His older brother [[Ettore Bugatti]] became a famous automobile manufacturer.

He was given his first name by his uncle, painter [[Giovanni Segantini]]. His father was an [[Art Nouveau]] furniture and jewelry designer who also worked in textiles, ceramics, and silver metalware. As such, Rembrandt Bugatti grew up in an environment where a great many of his parents' friends were from the artistic world. In 1902, the family moved to Paris, where they lived in a community of [[artisan]]s.

As a child, he hung around his father's workshop and was encouraged to try sculpting in [[plasticine]] by a family friend, Russian sculptor Prince [[Paolo Troubetzkoy]] (1866–1938).
