Born in Rockford, Illinois, Giorgi served in the United States Army during World War II and then went to Washington and Lee University.

During World War II, he served forty months as an Orientation Sergeant in Armored Corps (Tanks) and Amphibious.

[2] After a 1965 Illinois Supreme Court Case to resolve the redistricting issue, Giorgi's home was drawn into the 34th district, which consisted of southern Winnebago County.

He prided himself on his constituent services and was known to pay their parking tickets on occasion to create the illusion of influence.

His legislative aide Paula J. Raschke-Lind was appointed on November 24, 1994, to take Giorgi's place in the Illinois General Assembly.
