Angelo Buonumori was born in Perugia in 1946. 

　　At the age of seventeen he began to attend Perugia’s Academy of Fine Art, where he immediately displayed an interest in what were emerging art forms at that time, such as visual design and advertising graphics.
　　Thus it was that he developed his talents in two parallel artistic spheres: figurative art and advertising graphics.
　　In 1966 he began working with the art department of chocolate manufacturer Perugina, under the guidance of Gianni Angelini.
　　In 1974 he held his first solo exhibition, together with his friend and fellow artist Gianni Sani, at the “Il Perugino” picture-gallery in Perugia. 
　　In 1975 he won first prize in the second edition of the “Christopher Colombus” painting exhibition held in Genoa: the exhibition attracted works by numerous Italian and US artists.
　　In 1976 he held his second solo exhibition, this time in the “Gryphon and Lion” rooms of Perugia’s City Hall.
　　In 1977, Angelo Buonumori was invited to show in Genoa’s Palazzo Cattaneo Adorno.
　　During the 1980s he worked as Head of Design for a number of famous fashion labels, such as Nazareno Gabrielli and Igi & Igi. He subsequently opened his own advertising design studio, and many Italian companies from various different sectors have turned to his creative skills since then. In fact, the design of many brands currently on sale are the result of his artistic flair and imagination. 
　　Angelo currently teaches “The theory and methods of advertising communication” at Perugia’s University for Foreigners. 
　　He lives and works in his native Perugia.
