Born into a noble Italian count's family and a Polish woman of Lithuanian descent, Federica Elisabetta De Galleani's illustrious heritage set the stage for a life of artistic expression. Her cinematic journey began in 1970 with a minor role in Duccio Tessari's "Quella piccola differenza", marking the first of many appearances on the silver screen. As she continued to refine her craft, De Galleani's filmography grew, with each successive role showcasing her growing talent and versatility.
In the year 1978, Galleani made a deliberate decision to bid farewell to the world of acting, opting instead to embark on a new and unexplored path, one that would bring her closer to the realm of numbers and finance, as she transitioned into a career as an accountant.
Tragedy, however, would soon strike Galleani's personal life, as her half-sister, Halina Zalewska, met a devastating and untimely demise at the tender age of 36 in 1976, leaving a lasting impact on Galleani's life.
Furthermore, Galleani's past was marked by a romantic union with the illustrious Italian filmmaker, Carlo Vanzina, a man whose work would undoubtedly have left a lasting impression on the cinematic world.
