Born in Fossola, a frazione of Carrara, Giorgelli was the daughter of a businessman in the marble industry and a housewife.[1]
When she was a child, her parents separated and she moved to Castelpoggio, another of Carrara's frazione and her mother's birthplace.[1] Due to her mother's economic difficulties, at ten years of age, young old Gabriella was entrusted to the college of the Sisters of Capulet, in Carrara.[1] At fifteen years old she started to work, including as a pizza chef and a bartender.[1]
Giorgelli made her film debut in 1960, in a very minor role in Luigi Comencini's Everybody Go Home.[2]
After winning several local and regional beauty contests,[1] in 1961 she was among the finalists of Miss Italia, and thanks to her participation in the popular beauty pageant she started to attract a significant media attention that allowed her to get more weighty film roles.[1][2]
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, which she alternated with supporting roles in more prestigious and high-profile productions.[1][2] She was also active in a number of series and TV-movies.[2]
Giorgelli also appeared in many photo comics including Sadistik and is interviewed in the documentary film The Diabolikal Super-Kriminal.
