Her father was a socialist philosopher, while her mother was a German-born economist that had fled Nazi Germany.[1] Her father was killed by fascists during World War II.[2] Her mother remarried Altiero Spinelli, who became Colorni's stepfather.[3]

Colorni attended the University of Pavia and then began teaching. She moved to India where she taught at the Delhi School of Economics. She then moved to England.[1] Colorni began dating Amartya Sen,[4] with whom she moved to North London in 1973.[1] They married in 1978 and had two children together.[4] After being diagnosed with cancer, she continued to teach for nearly two additional terms.[1] She died of stomach cancer in 1985.[2]
