Born in Ovada, Province of Alessandria, Bonfatti lost her father at an early age, and moved with her family to Milan where she worked as a shop assistant, a manicurist and a seamstress.[1] While on a beach vacation in Viareggio, two photographers who were looking for new faces for the Miss Italia competition took a picture of her; the photo was published in a magazine and got the attention of film director Luciano Emmer, who after auditioning her cast Bonfatti in the role of Lucia in Three Girls from Rome.[1] Following the success of the film Bonfatti continued her career for a few years, until her sudden retirement in 1956.[1][2]
