Anna Kristiina Palomäki was born in Tampere, Finland, the daughter of an Italian father, Benito (Tito) Falchi, and Finnish mother Kaarina. She has a brother, Saro, and a half-brother in Sweden, Peter (by her father). In 1978, at the age of six, she moved to Italy with her family, where she started her career as a model.

Falchi participated in Miss Italia 1989. Falchi first appeared on television in a commercial for an Italian bank in 1992. The ad starred Paolo Villaggio, and was directed by the celebrated Federico Fellini. This helped her launch a film career, starting with Nel continente nero (in the black Continent) in 1993. Falchi appeared in many films since, including the 1994 fantasy movie The Dragon Ring, the 1997 film La principessa e il povero and the 2005 comedy Nessun messaggio in segreteria. She has also been a popular television personality, hosting various specials on Italian television. Falchi is lesser known in the English-speaking world. Some know her for the lead female role in the film Dellamorte Dellamore, which was released in the US as Cemetery Man. In 1995, Falchi briefly explored the music industry, recording the Finnish dance single "Pium Paum (Vipula Vapula)". In 2001, Falchi was a guest on the Italian late-night show Satyricon, during which she satirized one of the appearances of Madonna on Late Show with David Letterman during which Madonna jokingly teased Letterman for refusing to smell her panties. Falchi actually took off her red panties on stage, and the host, Daniele Luttazzi, went all the way to smell them. This caused some scandal in Italy. Since 2021, she has been a co-host for the long-running Italian show, Fatti Vostri.

Falchi was a Protestant but she converted to the Catholic Church. From 1994 to 1996, she was in a relationship with Fiorello. Falchi was married to Stefano Ricucci from 2005 to 2007. She had a daughter with Denny Montesi in 2010. She dated Andrea Ruggieri from 2011 to 2022.
