Gianecchini began acting at the age of six on the stage of his school in Birigüi, São Paulo. He earned a law degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP) in 1997, although he never practiced law. His ambition to become an actor was initially postponed by a successful modeling career that spanned eight years, including two years living in Paris. During that time, he also worked in cities such as New York, London, Berlin, and Milan. Despite his success in modeling, Gianecchini felt unfulfilled and decided to return to his original passion for acting. In 2001, he gained national recognition with his first major television role in the telenovela Laços de Família, playing Edu, a young doctor romantically involved with an older woman, portrayed by actress Vera Fischer. In 2002, he became the exclusive top model for Armani in Brazil, a role he has reportedly continued to hold. His Esperança co-star Maria Fernanda Cândido was selected as Armani's female equivalent in the country.

Gianecchini married journalist, actress and TV presenter Marília Gabriela in 1999. The two met in 1998 and five months later they were living together. The age difference between them – she is 25 years his senior – was the subject of considerable media attention. The couple divorced in 2006. In an interview with O Globo in September 2019, he stated that although he has dated both women and men, he does not identify as any sexual orientation. In September 2020, he stated that he identifies as pansexual.

Since August 2011, Gianecchini has been battling against cancer (angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma) and has undergone chemotherapy treatment.
