Calderara studied engineering at the Polytechnic in Milan from 1923 to 1924. Because of his passion for painting, he dropped out of his studies. He then lived in Milan and in Vacciago on Lake Orta, where most of his landscape paintings were made. As a painter he was self-taught. The main artistic incentives he received during this time were the photographs of Piero della Francesca, as well as the artists Kasimir Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian and Josef Albers.

Calderara had his first exhibition in 1934 at Galeria Bolaffi in Milan. In 1948 and 1956 he partly participated in the Venice Biennale. In 1959 he created his first non-figurative photograph. Calderara no longer used curved lines and limited himself to flat squares, right angles and stripes, which gained expressiveness by using a few colors. In 1960 there was a memorable meeting with Almir Mavignier , which enabled him to participate in an exhibition in Germany at Studio F in Ulm . Antonio Calderara was invited to the 4th documenta in Kassel in 1968. Calderara also transferred his panel paintings and watercolors to screen printing, or had them transferred to this technique by printers.

Calderara died at the age of 75 in 1978 in Vacciago on Lake Orta. There is also the seat of the Fondazione Calderara per l'Arte Contemporanea - the Antonio Calderara Foundation for Contemporary Art, which features rotating exhibitions.
