Educated at Milan, Mario studied law at the University of Pavia, but did not graduate. As a young man he served in the 1911-12 war against Turkey. In 1912 he travelled to Canada where he met Italian-born Maria Teresa Ferrari (1884-1969) and about October 1914 married her in Winnipeg. Vigano found work in a Vancouver hotel and with the Canadian Pacific Railways. Enlisting in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in 1917, he served until 1919 as a private in the 29th Vancouver Battalion and was awarded the D.C.M. during operations in France.
