Key Biography Points
Education: He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, where he was a pupil of the famous painter Giorgio Morandi.
Influences: While Morandi was his teacher, Cuniberti was deeply influenced by the work of Paul Klee, whom he discovered at the 1948 Venice Biennale and considered a "spiritual father."
Style and Media: His work is characterized by delicate, rhythmic lines and a sense of "silent luminosity." He was a master of drawing on paper, often using ballpoint pens, and later became known for working on masonite panels using acrylics and graphite.
Design: In addition to fine art, he was a designer. One of his most famous designs is the "PR" floor lamp created for the firm Sirrah in 1970.
