Born in Rome, in spite of a non-professional acting background, Varzi made her film debut in a leading role, as the Sicilian Maria Antonia in Renato Castellani's neorealist post-war comedy-drama It's Forever Springtime.[1][2] Her second role, as the mistress of a Sicilian bandit in Pietro Germi's Path of Hope, received critical acclaim.[1] It was during filming The Forbidden Christ that Varzi met and later married Raf Vallone. She eventually left her film career, devoting herself to the family.[1][2] She was the mother of Arabella, Saverio, and Eleonora Vallone.[3] Her husband died in 2002.
Varzi died of cardiac arrest at her holiday cottage in Sperlonga, Latina, on 1 September 2014. She was 87.[3]
