He started acting the age of 6, on the stage of his school in Birigüi, São Paulo. He graduated with a degree in law from the Pontifica Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP) in 1997, but he has never practiced law.

His dream of becoming an actor was delayed by his modeling career. He was a successful model for eight years. Two of those years he lived overseas, with a house in Paris, but all the while he was traveling to such cities as New York, London, Berlin, and Milan. He was unhappy, though, and decided to resume his pursuit of an acting career.

In 2002, Gianecchini was chosen to be the exclusive top model for Armani in Brazil, a position he apparently still holds to this date. (Maria Fernanda Candido, his co-star in Esperança, is the female equivalent for Armani).

While still modeling, he met and started dating journalist and television personality Marília Gabriela (”Gabi”) in July, 1998. His first brush of fame was as her boyfriend. Gossip hounds had fun with the fact that he’s 24 years younger than her and speculated that he was with her only to help advance his acting carrer.

- In 2001, he had his first significant regular role in the telenovela, Laços de Família. He played “Edu”, a doctor who became involvedwith a woman played by actress Vera Fischer — another woman many years older than him. This led to some further gossip, especially when Giane and Vera Fischer travelled to Japan to film some scenes for “Laços”.
