He grew up in Boston, and as a young man served a stone carving apprenticeship in Quincy, Massachusetts. From 1950 to 1954, while stationed in Tokyo with the Air Force, he worked in the studio of the Japanese sculptor Iwao Norimatsu.

Upon returning to the United States, DiGiusto assisted the Neoclassical sculptor, Ernest Morenon from 1955 to 1957 with commissions for figurative sculptures for cathedrals in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. "
