Painter, sculptor and decorator born in Pisa in 1899, Ruffo Giuntini attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. Starting from the end of the twenties he approached ceramics and, a few years later, found work at the "CIMA" in Perugia. He subsequently moved to Nove where he worked for "A. Zen" and around the second half of the 1930s he began to collaborate with the "Galvani" ceramic production factory in Pordenone and in close contact with the artistic director Angelo Simonetto, the painter Armando Pizzinato and ceramist Roberto Rosati, contributed to renewing the entire production of the factory, adapting it to the stylistic features of Modernism and Twentieth Centuryism. At the beginning of the 1940s he returned to collaborate with "CIMA", working between Perugia and Deruta. In 1943 he moved to Milan where he opened a collaboration with the "Roggiani" and "Cacciapuoti" factories and immediately after the war he returned to Deruta in the laboratories of "Maioliche Deruta" and "Salamandra" of Perugia. Some time later he settled in Nove where he collaborated with the ceramic factories "Ancora", "Barettoni" and "Borsato Antonio Ceramiche". In 1952 he moved to Empoli where he opened an art studio and where in the following years he created numerous abstract and informal sculptures. Ruffo Giuntini died in Empoli in 1980.
