Monica Zanchi, a slender and attractive blonde, was born in Bern, Kanton Bern, Switzerland. She spent the first seven years of her life in Bern before making a significant move with her family to Bergamo, Italy, in order to provide care and support to her ailing brother.
The family's decision to settle in Italy led to Monica studying in Bergamo for a period of time before she made the bold and unconventional decision at the age of fifteen to leave home without informing her parents. This impulsive decision led her to embark on a solo hitchhiking adventure abroad, leaving her family in the dark about her whereabouts for an entire year.
During this time, the Interpol was even notified of her absence, and it wasn't until her family started receiving bills from various hotels that they became aware of her scheme. Monica would check in to these hotels, pretending that her parents were on their way, and then sneak out without paying the rent after a couple of weeks.
This unpredictable and adventurous lifestyle took Monica to various countries, including Spain, France, and England. Her travels eventually led her to Sicily, where she met a movie agent who saw potential in her and convinced her to have some still shots taken.
This marked the beginning of Monica's brief but intriguing acting career in various Italian exploitation pictures.
