Style of play

Ciuferri is a left-footed right winger; he has cited Paulo Dybala as his biggest source of inspiration, even mimicking the forward's signature "mask" celebration after scoring his own goals.

Personal life

His older brother Massimo (b. 2002) is also a footballer: the two played together both at Vigor Perconti and Lodigiani.
