Giosetta Fioroni was born in Rome in 1932 into a family of artists: her father Mario was a sculptor, while her mother Francesca was a painter and puppeteer. She attended art school, studying with Giuseppe Capogrossi, and went on to study at the fine arts academy, where she met her professor Toti Scialoja, an important figure in her career as an artist.

At the end of 1958 she went to live in Paris, where Tristan Tzara sold her his studio. She met many artists in Paris, including Jean Paul Riopelle and Alberto Giacometti, as well as Samuel Beckett. In 1964 she met Goffredo Parise, her life-long partner; she surrounded and nourished herself with friendships with writers and poets such as Guido Ceronetti, Andrea Zanzotto, Cesare Garboli and Valerio Magrelli. She produced two big ceramic doors for the Nuovo Olimpia cinema in Rome.

She is the only female figure to be part of the Piazza del Popolo School with Mario Schifano, Franco Angeli and Tano Festa. 

Fioroni was the only woman to take part in the Piazza del Popolo School with Mario Schifano, Franco Angeli and Tano Festa. An eclectic artist who liked to use a variety of different media, she went from the silver works of the sixties to canvases and drawings made with enamels and industrial paints to aluminium, experimentation with photography and, lastly, a vast ceramic production. Beginning in 1993 she produced her ceramics in Bottega Gatti in Faenza, also frequented by Mimmo Paladino and Luigi Ontani, creating works about fairy-tales, magic and fantasy worlds and holding solo shows in prominent galleries in Italy and abroad.

“All my work shares a sort of common theme, which is childhood: a very particular kind of childhood, spent among highly visionary elements. All this plays an important role in the choice of certain things, of certain frames, even of certain ways of imagining space. A space that is always very far away, as if it were taking place on a stage”.
