Iginio Straffi was born in Gualdo, Macerata, Marche, Italy. His father was British, and his mother was Italian, with whom he moved to Italy at age three. Since a young age, Straffi was interested in illustrating comic books, and by age seven, he started drawing his own funny stories. In 1973, Straffi moved to the nearby city of Macerata along with his family at age seven. Regarding his education, Straffi often drew comic stories in high school and participated in art competitions, such as one held by the comic magazine Totem. While he continued to develop his art skills, Straffi further studied Literature and Modern Languages at the University of Macerata.
Iginio Straffi is married to Joanne Lee. Straffi met Lee in 1997 during a trip to Lee's native Singapore, and the couple tied the knot several years later. Straffi and Lee have a daughter named Isotta.
In the early phase of his career, Iginio Straffi worked in the comic book industry and collaborated on several funny stories with magazines and publishing houses. Straffi created a comic book series 'Nick Raider,' as he was the lead creative artist of the fictional character Nick Raider.
In 1992, Straffi moved to France for a storyboarding job at the Telcima animation studio. After becoming experienced with each stage of the animation production process, Straffi returned to Italy. With the financial assistance of Giuseppe Casali and Lamberto Pigini, Straffi founded Rainbow SpA in 1995 with 10,000 euros, which they mainly used to purchase computers and software for digital design.
In 2004, Straffi's creation 'Winx Club' premiered on Italy's Rai 2. Initially, Straffi wrote the series plot to last no more than 78 episodes (three seasons). Later he decided to extend the series for an additional season in 2008 due to the show's increasing popularity. Meanwhile, Winx Club's international success attracted the attention of the American media company Viacom. In February 2011, Viacom became a Rainbow co-owner, leading to the worldwide distribution of Rainbow's shows through Viacom's network of subsidiaries. Viacom's Nickelodeon studios have co-produced various projects with Rainbow studio, including additional seasons of 'Winx Club,' and 'Club 57' in 2019.
