For me, every day feels like the first day at work.
\nI do not experience past achievements as a point of arrival or as acquired certainty, but as a foundation from which to begin again.
\nEach time there is the novelty of a technique, the excitement of discovery, and the genuine desire to learn something new: in my professional path and, inevitably, within myself.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n[vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Origins and Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hello, my name is Cinzia Chiulli<\/strong>. I was born on June 11, 1962, in Viterbo<\/strong>, the city where I live and work.
\nI graduated in 1981 from the Tuscia Art High School<\/strong> in Viterbo and, from 1982 to 1986, studied Architecture<\/strong> at La Sapienza University in Rome.<\/p>\n

Early Professional Years<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From 1986 to 1993 I worked as an interior designer<\/strong> at the studio of architect M. Campelli in Rome, designing interiors for new buildings in Rome and throughout Italy.
\nIn 1994, I attended the School of Wood Painting<\/strong> at V.O. Art Style and Painting School in Cape Town, South Africa.<\/p>\n

Specializations and Artistic Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From 1995, for two years, I attended the School of Decoration and Mural Painting \u201cAccademia del Superfluo\u201d<\/strong> in Rome, and in 1998 I obtained a diploma as \u201cRestorer of Antique Furniture\u201d<\/strong> (Lazio Region, Rome).<\/p>\n

Foundation of the \u201cArtistica\u201d Studio<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 1999, I co-founded \u201cArtistica\u201d<\/strong>, a Ceramic Workshop, Art Studio and Restoration Laboratory, in Viterbo, Via di San Pellegrino.
\nDuring these years I specialized in ceramic decoration<\/strong>, ceramic restoration<\/strong>, wooden objects<\/strong>, and mural decoration<\/strong>, while producing numerous personal works.<\/p>\n

Exhibitions, Collaborations and Commissions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have collaborated with several ceramic exhibitions<\/strong> in various cities, including Viterbo and Deruta (Umbria).
\nI created the interior decorations of the Monastery of Sant\u2019Agnese (15th century)<\/strong> in Vitorchiano (Viterbo) for the Jubilee of 2000.
\nI taught at the regional school for \u201cArtistic Ceramic Decorators\u201d<\/strong> in Lazio.<\/p>\n

Teaching Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since 2001 I have taught ceramic painting<\/strong>, restoration<\/strong>, and fresco painting<\/strong> for the American school SYA \u2013 School Year Abroad<\/strong>, whose only Italian campus is in Viterbo.
\nI have carried out restoration work for private clients and taught at multiple levels: kindergarten, middle school, high school, and university.
\nI have designed logos and decorative projects<\/strong> for companies, hotels, and public spaces.<\/p>\n

Associations and International Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I am co-founder of the Cultural Association \u201cLe Botteghe dell\u2019Arte\u201d<\/strong>, dedicated to the promotion of artistic craftsmanship.
\nI carried out restoration work for the churches of Sant\u2019Antonio in Vitorchiano<\/strong> and Sant\u2019Antonio in Soriano nel Cimino<\/strong>.
\nIn 2001, I earned a diploma in Raku ceramics<\/strong> at the Romano Ranieri Ceramic Art School in Deruta.
\nIn Russia and the United Arab Emirates<\/strong>, I performed gilding works.
\nI am accredited at the University of Tuscia<\/strong> for Ceramic Laboratories.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n[vc_row type=”in_container”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Major Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I participated in the creation of the silver decorations and final patina of the scale model of the Macchina di Santa Rosa<\/strong>, a UNESCO heritage symbol.
\nFor the \u201cG. Merlini\u201d school in Viterbo, I created the bas-relief of Saint Maria De Mattia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Art Therapy and Social Commitment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I am an Art Therapy instructor<\/strong>, collaborating with the Institute of Health, working with people with disabilities and mental health conditions.
\nThis activity is mentioned in the book \u201cFrom Clay to Creation\u201d<\/strong> by Gabriella Trani.
\nMy ongoing collaboration with Gabriella has trained and qualified me to support those who use ceramics as a form of social therapy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Exhibitions and Recognition<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I am considered one of the leading experts in ancient Italian ceramics<\/strong>, with participation in exhibitions such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u201cArt\u201d<\/strong>, Fortezza da Basso, Florence<\/li>\n
  • \u201cMOA Casa\u201d \u2013 Interior Design<\/strong>, Rome Fair<\/li>\n
  • Sectorial Trade<\/strong>, Utrecht<\/li>\n
  • Art Exhibition<\/strong>, Malta<\/li>\n
  • Rocca dei Papi<\/strong>, Montefiascone<\/li>\n
  • \u201cRisorgimental Art in Italy\u201d<\/strong>, Castel Sant\u2019Angelo, Rome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    I took part in the first editions of \u201cSan Pellegrino Cult\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cMusic and Cinema in San Pellegrino\u201d<\/strong>, with guest Ennio Morricone<\/strong>.
    \nIn Paris, I was invited to the Palais des Congr\u00e8s<\/strong> and the Museum of Expression<\/strong>.
    \nI participated in the Contemporary Ceramic Art Exhibition in Belgium<\/strong> in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

    International Collaborations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    I served as a consultant for the world congress \u201cA Forest for Kyoto\u201d<\/strong> in Japan: one of the works is the hand of U.S. President Barack Obama<\/strong>, later exhibited at the Museum of Peace<\/em> in San Francisco.
    \nMy work has been featured on Sky Arte<\/strong>, National Geographic<\/strong>, and other international broadcasters.<\/p>\n

    The American painter Paul White<\/strong> (author of album covers for Genesis<\/em>) created his first ceramic work in my studio.<\/p>\n

    Research on Historical Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    In my workshop, I reproduced the ancient \u201cZaffera\u201d<\/strong> ceramic technique in cobalt blue (14th\u201315th century).
    \nI have received multiple awards, and several pieces are exhibited in international museums.<\/p>\n

    Tarot and New Research Paths<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    My most recent body of work, exhibited at the Duomo Museum of Viterbo<\/strong>, focuses on the Tarot<\/strong>, which according to some sources arrived in Italy precisely in Viterbo.
    \nThis project is a work in progress<\/strong>, and I am currently studying ancient Chinese tarot cards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Artistic Paths<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    In 2019<\/strong>, I opened my exclusive studio Percorsi Artistici di Cinzia Chiulli<\/strong>, located in the medieval district of San Pellegrino<\/strong> in Viterbo.
    \nFrom here, I continue to create, experiment, and develop new artistic paths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
