Fioretta Gorini was the spouse of Giuliano de' Medici and the mother of Giulio de' Médici, the future Pope Clement VII. Gorini was the daughter of the professor Antonio Gorini. Her name is the diminutive of Antonia o Antonietta.

On May 26, 1478, after the assassination of Giuliano in the Pazzi conspiracy, Fioretta gave birth to his son Giulio.

The female figure of Fiore is represented in Ritratto di giovane donna (1475), of Sandro Botticelli, which is preserved in Palazzo Pitti, although it will represent Simonetta Vespucci, Clarice Orsini, Alfonsina Orsini or Lucrezia Tornabuoni. The woman sculpted on Dama col mazzolino (1475), of Andrea del Verrocchio, which is preserved in Museo Nazionale del Bargello, could be Fioretta Gorini.
