He studied Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. During his artistic training, he was a student of distinguished masters, including Mimmo Paladino and Augusto Perez.

The roots of Ciaramella’s sculptural practice are deeply embedded in the traditions of his native land. Growing up amid work in the fields and contributing from a young age to the construction of agricultural tools for his family, he developed and refined his sculptural skills. His art is imbued with a profound connection to the territories of the Valle Caudina, an essential aspect reflected in his careful use of local materials such as various types of wood, clay, and stone.

Over time, Ciaramella has explored his creativity across different fields, participating in scenic and theatrical projects and contributing to various television productions. In 1984, he collaborated on the theatrical set design for Federico García Lorca’s Blood Wedding, directed by Mariano Rigillo. Throughout his career, he has taken part in numerous personal and collective exhibitions. Among the most significant exhibitions in which the Benevento-born sculptor has presented his works are: Spiritus Mundi, Cappella Palatina del Maschio Angioino, Naples, 2020; Helix, Eremo di S. Vitaliano, as part of the “Settembre al Borgo” festival, Casertavecchia (CE), 2018; Racconti di Pietra, installation, Piazza Magnani, Pistoia, 2017; Wunderkammer, installation, Ptuj Castle, Slovenia, 2015; Kerres, installations in the historic center of Sant’Agata de’ Goti (BN), 2014; Fuoco Vitale, M.A.V. Museo Archeologico Virtuale, Ercolano (NA), 2006; Vulcano, Pasinger Fabrik, Munich, 2002; Sulle Tracce della Memoria, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, New York (USA), 1991. His works are included in numerous private collections.
