Giuseppe Spagnulo was born in Grottaglie (Taranto), one of the historic centers of ceramics, in 1936. He currently lives and works in Milan. His first training took place in his father's ceramic laboratory. After completing his first studies at the Art School of his city, he moved to the Institute of Ceramics in Faenza, where he was present from 1952 to 1958 as a student of Angelo Biancini , here he carried out his first experiments with stoneware. In 1959 he moved to Milan to attend the Brera Academy. He becomes an assistant in the studios of Lucio Fontana and Arnaldo Pomodoro. Through Fontana and Manzoni, the young sculptor is informed of the experiences of informal ceramics carried out in Albisola. In the Seventies, Spagnulo's work appears strongly marked by conceptual aspects. At the beginning of the nineties he was entrusted with the chair of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. In 2005 Spagnulo exhibited at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice with the exhibition “And if a gust of wind came?”
