Born in Rome, Ciuferri spent his first formation years at local club Vigor Perconti:[1][2] following trials with Ascoli,[1] Frosinone[3] and Benevento,[4] he moved to fellow Rome-based club Lodigiani in August 2019.[2] Then, he joined Roma's academy in January 2020.[5][6] Here, the midfielder come through the youth ranks,[7] being eventually promoted to the under-19 squad in the summer of 2022.[8]

Having not managed to break into the team on a regular basis, on 19 January 2023 Ciuferri officially departed Roma to join Serie C side Giugliano, signing his first professional contract with the club.[9][10][11] He then made his professional debut for the club on 5 February, coming on as a substitute in the second half of a 4–1 league loss against Virtus Francavilla.[12]
