Johann was born on March 16, 1823 at Sierhausen, Oldenburg, Germany, the son of Johann Heinrich and Maria Adelheid (Moormann) Stallo. He was of Frisian descent, his ancestors for many generations having been schoolmasters.
Under his grandfather's tutelage he learned to read and cipher before he was four years old, and later learned English and the classical languages, while his father taught him French.
At the age of thirteen he entered the normal school at Vechta and then the Gymnasium, but his father lacked means for his further education, and to avoid becoming a village schoolmaster he emigrated to America at sixteen years of age.
He employed all his spare time in the study of chemistry and physics and was appointed professor of these sciences in St. John's College, Fordham, New York, from 1844 to 1847. Here he studied philosophy and prepared his General Principles of the Philosophy of Nature (1848), introducing American readers to the philosophical views of Kant, Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, and Lorenz Oken.
Stallo then returned to Cincinnati where he studied law. Throughout the years of his law practice Stallo continued his study of philosophy, physics, and mathematics.
At Cincinnati, Ohio, where an uncle had settled previously, the studious boy procured a position as teacher in a Catholic school. He published a primer, ABC, Buchstabier und Lesebuch, fur die deutschen Schulen Amerikas (1840), as well as some poems which betray a philosophical interest in nature, and until 1844 was a student at St. Xavier's College in Cincinnati, teaching German and the classical languages at the same time.
While it served its purpose in this respect, Stallo later disavowed the book as having been written "under the spell of Hegel's ontological reveries" .
Stallo then returned to Cincinnati and was admitted to the bar in 1849. After practising for some time he was appointed judge in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas from 1853 to 1855. One of his most famous cases was his defense of the Cincinnati School Board in a mandamus suit in which Protestant clergymen tried to force it to retain the singing of hymns and the reading of the Bible as part of the school curriculum.
In 1856 he was an elector for Fremont. At the outbreak of the Civil War he eloquently called on the Germans of Cincinnati to form a regiment, the 9th Ohio Infantry, sometimes called "Stallo's Turner Regiment. "
After four years in Rome he settled in Florence where he spent the remainder of his life with his books.

Stallo was a fairly Liberal Catholic and at times has been described as a free thinker. He represented the trustees of Holy Trinity Church in their struggle to maintain control of the Church against the attempt by the Archbishop of Cincinnati to establish the Roman Catholic Canon law method of having all diocese properties held by the bishop.
Stallo was a great admirer of Jefferson and belonged to the Democratic party until the question of slavery became acute, when he helped found the Republican party. When corruption became rife within the Republican party he joined the group of reformers who attempted to nominate Charles Francis Adams at the convention in Cincinnati in 1872. In 1872, John supported Democrat Grover Cleveland for President.
He was a born scholar, a keen and liberal thinker whose works anticipated the studies of Darwin.
In speeches and letters Stallo always favored the interests of the people against monopolies, and was an opponent of the protective tariff.
Stallo's home was a seat of rare culture in letters, science, and music, and was open only to a few people.
In 1855 he had been married to Helene Zimmermann, of Cincinnati, who survived him with two of their seven children.
