Born in Genoa as Giuseppina Angela Volonghi, a promising junior swimming champion in her youth, Volonghi started her acting career in 1933, when she debuted in the comedy play I manezzi pe' majâ na figgia, in the Gilberto Govi's stage company.[1] After six years she left the Govi's company and moved to Rome, where she joined the Anton Giulio Bragaglia's company Theatre of the Arts.[1][2] In these years she gained critical appreciation for her versatility in comic and dramatic roles. She later worked on stage with Luchino Visconti, Giorgio Strehler, Luigi Squarzina among others.[1][2] Also active in films, in TV and radio dramas and series, she retired in 1986 following a sudden heart attack.[1][2] Volonghi was married to actor Carlo Cataneo.
