Following his high school graduation, Venturiero pursued formal training at the Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico in Rome, from which he graduated at the age of twenty-one. This classical training laid the foundation for an extensive career in theatre, where he has worked under the direction of prominent figures such as Lorenzo Salveti, Maurizio Scaparro, Giorgio Albertazzi, and Gabriele Lavia. His stage work spans a wide range of classical and contemporary drama, including performances at renowned institutions like the Teatro di Roma and the Teatro Stabile di Torino. In addition to his theatre work, Venturiero has appeared in Italian television series, including a main cast role in the Netflix production Suburra - La serie.

As a voice actor, Venturiero is primarily known for dubbing international film and television productions into Italian. He has established himself as the regular Italian voice for several prominent actors, including John David Washington in films such as Tenet, Malcolm & Marie, and The Creator, and Jamie Dornan in the Fifty Shades film series, Belfast, and Heart of Stone. His other regular voice assignments include Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in Aquaman and its sequel, as well as in Candyman and Matrix Resurrections, and Scott Eastwood in the Fast & Furious franchise. His filmography in dubbing also includes providing the Italian voice for Taron Egerton in the musical biopic Rocketman.

Within the specific field of anime and animation dubbing, Venturiero has contributed to the Italian-language versions of notable works. He voiced the character Hideo in the Italian dub of the Japanese animated film Giovanni's Island, also known as L'isola di Giovanni. This film, which deals with the aftermath of World War II, was released in Italy in 2019. He also took on the role of the Masked Count, a mysterious antagonist, in the Italian dub of the Lupin III television special Italian Game (titled La partita italiana in Italian). This special, which aired in Italy as part of the franchise's 50th-anniversary celebrations, features Venturiero voicing a character originally performed by Kenjiro Tsuda in the Japanese version.
