Life and career

Vanni was born in Florence[1] as Maria Angelica Giovanna Pegna. She has been described as a graceful and elegant brunette,[1] and the New York Times film critic, Frank Nugent, wrote in a review of I've Lost My Husband! that she was "one of the prettiest girls in the Italian film industry."[2]

Her first cinematic role was in Perché no?
