A medical doctor by profession, Gustave Turrettini was the brother of fellow lawn tennis Fernand Turrettini and the first cousin of another player, Maurice Turrettini. Gustave and Fernand were two of the five children born to Théodore Edouard Bénédict Turrettini (1845-1916), a distinguished administrator and national councillor in the Swiss Federal Assembly, and Catherine Marguerite Turrettini (née Favre; 1851-1932).
The lawn tennis players’ ancestors originally came from Lucca in Tuscany and had arrived in Calvinist Geneva in 1578 as religious refugees. The pedigree of the Turrettini family includes bankers as well as theologians Jean-Alphonse Turrettini and François Turrettini.
