Early life
Born in Fossola, a frazione of Carrara, Giorgelli was the daughter of a businessman in the marble industry and a housewife. As a child her parents split and she moved to Castelpoggio, another Carrara's frazione and her mother's birthplace. Because of her mother's economic difficulties, at ten years old Giorgelli was entrusted to the college of the Sisters of Capulet, in Carrara. At fifteen years old she started to work, including as a pizza chef and a bartender.
Career
Giorgelli made her film debut in 1960, in a very minor role in Luigi Comencini's Everybody Go Home.

After appearing in several art films, in the late 1960s Giorgelli landed some leading roles in B-movies, mainly consisting of Spaghetti Westerns and Commedia sexy all'italiana films spoofing Pier Paolo Pasolini's The Decameron, that she alternated with supporting roles in more prestigious and high-profile productions.
