Career and creativity

There are also discrepancies regarding the start of a stellar career. According to one version, Balti went to castings and sent her photos to agencies since childhood, but she was not noticed because of her ordinary appearance. And the modeling agent noticed her at the moment when, out of despair, she worked as a cosmetics seller. According to another, she got to the casting unexpectedly, having received advice not to hide her beauty and take part in the casting of models when she was interviewing for a job in a supermarket. Somewhere they say that her parents were against their daughter's modeling career, considering it shameful for a decent girl, and somewhere they write that her mother took her to the first casting herself. Bianca herself adds drama to the description of that period of her life, saying that after moving to Milan for six months she experienced enormous financial difficulties and picked up scraps in the trash heap near cafes and restaurants.
