Biography
Born in Gallarate, he was the nephew of the painter Giuseppe Craffonara of Trento. He moved to Genoa as a boy of 10 years, and trained at the Accademia Ligustica of Fine Arts under Tammar Luxoro.

He collaborated with Giuseppe Sacheri, Plinio Nomellini, and Dario Bardinero in decorating the site of the Banco di Chiavari e della Riviera Ligure in via Garibaldi. Craffonara often painted watercolors. He died in Genoa.
