Still a student, he began working in the graphic arts sector, cultivating, as a self-taught, a true passion for cartoons.

His most famous work is the animated feature film The Adventures of Pinocchio (1972), in which the artist wanted to create an adaptation of Carlo Collodi's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio as close as possible to the original.

And, thanks to the extraordinary novelty created by the Florentine artist, the most successful program of Italian TV allowed the greatest talents of the animation of those years to express all their creative flair, from 1957 to 1977.

In the 1960s Giuliano Cenci was one of the founders in Milan, together with other Italian cartoonists and producers of cartoons, of the I.S.C.A.

At that time, as a young cartoonist but already with an important professional background, he decided to realize the personal dream of a "first work", to sign the direction of a cartoon film!
