She was born in Florence and, from 1726, studied under Hyacinthe Rigaud and François Boucher in Paris.

Upon returning to Florence she married Giuseppe Cerroti, about whom nothing is known, and continued her artistic studies under Francesco Conti.

[1] After the death of Giovanna Fratellini in 1731, she also received support from the Medici's financial partners, the Gondi family.

Her most ambitious work was a fourteen figure family group of the Emperor Charles VI, the father of Maria Theresa of Austria (1735).

She was also mentioned in Jane Fortune's book Invisible Women: Forgotten Artists of Florence, which discusses female Florentine artists.
