Bolognesi began acting at an early age and made her debut with the ensemble of the Teatro Manzoni in Milan under Marco Praga. In 1919 she became the ensemble's first actress alongside Aristide Baghetti and the following year led her ensemble with Ettore Berti . Further seasons of her stage career were alongside Enzo Biliotti (1921) and from 1922 to 1926 the Teatro del Popolo (as its first actress from 1924), again in Milan.[1] The following season saw her in the theater company around Luigi Zoncada and later, in 1932, next to Carlo Tamberlani.
Bolognesi made her film debut in 1916 in Cura di baci by Emilio Graziani-Walter, but found little satisfaction with it, so she concentrated on her theater work. It was not until the mid-1930s, when the time of the big stage roles was over, that she developed into a sought-after character actress playing cultured women, who with her appearance with her blonde, luscious hair also gave her secondary roles the flair of "the Italian Mae West".[2] After World War II she continued her film career until 1954 and then withdrew to her birthplace.[3]
In the 1930s, Bolognesi also worked frequently for the EIAR, the Italian radio service.
