Roger Kinf Fine Art, Newport, Rhode Island.

Born in Italy, Antonio Cirino immigrated to the United States as a young child. In the 1920s, he began splitting time in Rockport, Massachusetts, and Providence, Rhode Island. He attended the Rhode Island School of Design from 1904 to 1909, and later taught there. He studied art in Italy and was a pupil of Arthur Wesley Dow.

Cirino was a founding member of the Rockport Art Association and a member of the Salmagundi Club of New York City. He bequeathed many of his paintings to the Rockport Art Association, and some to the Salmagundi Museum, where they remain part of their permanent collections.
