From a well-to-do Rome family, Giunti was racing from his teens, driving Alfas in hill-climbs and club events. He progressed to the works Alfa team in 1966, winning the touring car section of the European mountain-climb championship the following year. Giunti was a regular member of the Autodelta sports car team in 1968, taking second in the Targa Florio and fourth (and class win) at Le Mans with Galli, who was his regular partner through into 1969.

For 1970, Ignazio was signed by Ferrari for their successful sports car programme, sharing the winning 512S in the Sebring 12 Hours, Targa Florio and Rand 9 Hours, also taking second place in the Monza 1000 Km and third in the Watkins Glen 6 Hours. Meanwhile Giunti made a very impressive Grand Prix debut to finish fourth at Spa, earning three more drives. Though Regazzoni had laid claim to the number two seat in F1, Giunti stayed with the team for 1971. In the season's first sports car race, the Buenos Aires 1000 Km, Ignazio, unsighted by another car, ploughed into the back of the Matra of Beltoise which had run out of fuel and was being pushed along the track by its driver. The Ferrari somersaulted some 200 yards down the track, exploding into flames, leaving poor Giunti no chance of survival. Sustaining 70 per cent burns and multiple injuries, he died in hospital some two hours later.
