Filippo Andrea Francesco Coletti was born on 11 May 1811 in Anagni, a medieval town located east-southeast of Rome, in the district of Frosinone.
 
Coletti's parents, Venanzio Coletti and Angela Viti, were of modest means and education.
The Colettis had eight children: Rosa, Filippo, Andrea, Alessandro, Temistocle, Domenico and two other daughters.
The family lived in the town center, on the corner of Via Maggiore and Vicolo Cellacchio.
With Filippo Coletti's singing fees which were administered by his father Venanzio, the family moved into a large property outside Anagni in 1843.
Venanzio continued to invest in land and buildings.
Upon the death of Venanzio, the administration was taken over by Coletti's brother Andrea.
The Coletti estate exists today as a winery, Coletti-Conti.
Coletti's younger brother Domenico was an opera singer who moved to the United States and lived in New York.

In 1845 the 33-year-old Filippo Coletti married the seventeen-year-old Maria, daughter of Anagni's town clerk (Segretario comunale) Giovanni Ambrosi.
The marriage was arranged by Coletti's father Venanzio, and proved to be a happy one.
Filippo and Maria had four children: Tito, Decio, Lavinia and Valeria.
