Giulia Ciacci was born in 1990 in Perugia, Italy. After graduating with a master’s degree in art history from Perugia’s Faculty of Humanities in 2014, she furthered her studies at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Italian sculpture department of the Louvre in Paris.

Giulia Ciacci’s artistic path is based on a theoretical approach to the image and on the independent study of drawing: it initially resulted in pencil and charcoal illustration, from which derived works such as the illustration of the volume I grandi Perugini (2022, Intermedia Edizioni).

After working for several years in tourism, communication, and museum management, moving to Verona, Lecco, Pisa, and Livorno, she chose to devote herself exclusively to writing about art and, since 2019, to oil painting.

Her research started from the effects of painting on sartorial fabrics: a solo exhibition at “Il Melograno” gallery in Livorno and participation in group exhibitions in the Umbrian-Tuscan territory (#Perugino 5.00, Fontignano; Stati d’Arte, Spello; Impronte, Onart Gallery, Florence, 2023) date back to this first phase. 

Thanks to her meeting with Alfonso Fratteggiani Bianchi, she investigated new solutions on the drafting of color in terms of interaction with pigment in its raw state and deepened her research on the dissemination of figures in the space of the painting. This resulted in the solo exhibition Giulia Ciacci – Paintings at the Atelier of Alfonso Fratteggiani Bianchi, Sant’Apollinare, Perugia (March – April 2024).
