Born in Satriano, in province of Catanzaro, Chiaravalloti graduated in Law at the University of Genoa [1] where, for a short time, he had as a classmate the future actor and screenwriter Paolo Villaggio. [2]
Chiaravalloti entered the magistracy in 1959 and was assigned to the district court of Crotone, being appointed a titular judge from 1964 to 1976 when he became an attorney in Catanzaro. [3]
In 1991 Chiaravalloti was assigned to the General Attorney of the Appellate court of Catanzaro, while from July 1997 to April 2000 he has been attorney general at the Appellate court of Reggio Calabria. [3]

Chiaravalloti became the official candidate of the House of Freedoms for the office of President of Calabria at the 2000 regional election and won, holding his seat for the following five years. [6]
Together with his successor Agazio Loiero, Chiaravalloti has been involved in the Why Not investigation, then led by judge Luigi de Magistris, created to shed light on alleged wrongdoing in the management of public funds for the development of Calabria.

Another nickname was il ragioniere due to his apparently subtle and low-key approach to running his crime empire, at least in contrast to some of his more violent predecessors.

The term State-Mafia Pact defines the negotiation between important Italian functionaries and Cosa Nostra members, that began after the period of the 1992 and 1993 terror attacks by the Sicilian Mafia with the aim to reach a deal and so to stop the attacks. In summary, the supposed cornerstone of the deal was the end of the so-called "massacres season" in return for detention measures attenuation expected by Italian article 41-bis, thanks to which Antimafia pool led by Giovanni Falcone condemned hundreds of mafia members to the so-called "hard prison regime". The negotiation hypothesis has been the subject of long judicial investigations - not yet concluded - and some journalistic investigations.
