Born in Campi Bisenzio, Florence, Monni started his artistic activity in early seventies, as an actor in the Tuscan vernacular comic theater.[1] After having played some minor roles in a number of low-budget films, the popularity came in the second half of 1970s, as the sidekick of his real life friend Roberto Benigni in a series of successful stage works, TV-programs, and then films (Berlinguer, I Love You, Seeking Asylum, Tu mi turbi, Nothing Left to Do But Cry).[1][2] From then Monni started a productive career as a character actor, collecting over 300 appearances between cinema and theater.[3]
