Cirisano was born on 12 June 2001 in Crotone, Italy, but moved to St. Petersburg in 2006. His father, Benito, is Italian, and he has an older sister, Valeria.
Cirisano began learning to skate as a five-year-old, in 2006.[1] He began competing in ice dance during the 2016–17 season, skating with Marina Tikhonova. Their partnership lasted two seasons.[2]
In 2018, Cirisano teamed up with Irina Khavronina. The two finished 11th at the 2019 Russian Junior Figure Skating Championships.
Khavronina/Cirisano made their international debut in January, at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland. They ranked first in both segments and outscored fellow Russians Sofya Tyutyunina / Alexander Shustitskiy by 5.48 points to take the gold medal.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the international junior season was cancelled, and Khavronina/Cirisano competed exclusively domestically. They won the bronze medal at the 2021 Russian Junior Championships.[3]
With the resumption of international junior competition, Khavronina/Cirisano received their first ISU Junior Grand Prix assignment to the 2021 JGP Russia in September. The team scored a new personal best to win the rhythm dance, and ultimately took the gold medal overall, despite falling slightly behind compatriots Sofia Leonteva / Daniil Gorelkin in the free dance.
At their next assignment, 2021 JGP Poland, Khavronina/Cirisano again upgraded their personal best in the rhythm dance, scoring 68.05 points to win the segment.
