Fioretta's husband, Solomon of Modena, was the uncle of the scholar and rabbi Leon of Modena. Fioretta's grandson was Aaron Berechiah, a rabbi and Kabbalist. Fioretta reportedly was heavily involved in her grandson's tutelage. Fioretta's sister, Diana Rieti of Mantua, was also well versed in Jewish teachings.
