Vincenzo Galdi enrolled in the Institute of Fine Arts in Naples.
During his studies he was especially impressed with optics and photographic technique, even building a wooden camera with a telescopic lens by himself.
As a student he worked at the studio of Giorgio Sommer at his photographic studio on Via Monte di Dio.

He started to study with German photographer Guglielmo Plüschow, who had a studio in Naples in 1886 or 1887.
As he was strikingly good-looking, Galdi also modeled for Plüschow at that time.
Starting from 1887, and until 1890, the young Galdi also worked in theater as a set designer, instrumentalist and actor with the Eduardo Scarpetta's company and then with Alberto Cozzella and Vincenzo Esposito.
But the economic default of the former Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the decline of Naples art scene led Galdi to leave his homeland and move to Rome with Guglielmo Plüschow.
