She was considered one of the most beautiful and talented tragic actors of her day. Taddei was best known as an "improvisatrice" or improvisational poet. She was a distinguished member of the Accademia degli Arcadi in Rome, where she was known as Licori Partenopea. In 1832, she married Vincenzo Mozzidolfi.

She died in Rome in 1869.
