Victor Gaitan Andrea Giglio was born in Toxteth Park, Liverpool, England on 17 June, 1888, the son of Italian cotton merchant, Frederici Josephi (Frederick Joseph) Giglio and his Egyptian wife, Despina Sepse. He was baptized at the church of Maria de Monte Carmeli (Our Lady of Mount Carmel) in Liverpool on 21 July, 1888.

In James Cameron's film, Titanic, Victor Giglio was portrayed by Chris Cragnotti in an uncredited performance.

Employment and Titanic[]

Little is known of Victor's life and how he came to become employed by one of America's richest men, but he and his employer are listed as arriving at Fishguard aboard the Lusitania on 16th January 1912. Giglio was valet (probably more of a secretary or personal assistant than a servant) to Benjamin Guggenheim. They embarked the Titanic at Cherbourg (ticket number 17593). Guggenheim and Giglio occupied cabin B-84. Guggenheim's French chauffeur, Rene Pernot, travelled in second class (although Pernot was never seen on-screen). Also aboard the ship was Guggenheim's mistress Leontine Aubert.
