Giuseppe Cinalli was born in Naples on June 16, 1961. He completed the secondary school in Naples and the medical studies at the "Federico II" University of Naples (1980-1986). He started the residency program in Neurosurgery on April 1, 1987, at the "Federico II" University of Naples, but he was rapidly attracted by the Pediatric Neurosurgery, so he asked and obtained to complete his residency at the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery of the Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades in Paris, France, directed by Professor Jean François Hirsch, with grants from French Government and the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction (Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione). He completed his residency in October 1991 and continued to work in Necker as assistant attaché. He married Fabrizia in 1991 and they had Francesco and Maria Allegra. In 1993, he spent 5 months as visiting fellow in the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the New York University Medical Center directedby Fred Epstein and 3 months in the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Primary Children's Medical Center of Salt Lake City directed by Marion "Jack" Walker.

On November 1, 1993, he started his university career in France first as chef de clinique-assistant (1993-1997) and later as praticien hospitalouniversitaire (1997-1998), before deciding to go back to Italy. He then worked in Terni (1998-1999) and in Naples at the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Santobono-Pausilipon Children's Hospital, directed by Dr. Giuseppe Maggi, where he started to work in October 1999.

He became chief of the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery on April 1, 2007, and head of the Department of Neurosciences in July 2016. He is active member of 7 scientific societies, editor of 3 books, and founding member in 2001 of the International Study Group of Neuroendoscopy (ISGNE), later transformed into International Federation of Neuroendoscopy (IFNE) of which he was elected president in
