When Francesca was 10 years old, her father died. The mother was left alone with her daughters, the family somehow made ends meet. Meanwhile, by the age of 13, the future movie star turned into an attractive girl and looked much older than her years - it was during this period, secretly from her mother, Francesca Romana Rivelli began to pose nude in an art school.

At the same time, the young beauty was moonlighting on the set for men's magazines. Spicy pictures were seen not only by connoisseurs of female beauty, but also by teachers and mother. The scandal almost ended with the expulsion of the girl from school, but the plight of the Rivelli family was taken into account, they decided to forget about the unpleasant situation.

After a while, sister Claudia, who seriously dreamed of becoming a film actress, gathered for the selection of actors for the film "The Most Beautiful Wife" directed by Damiano Damiani. For courage, the girl took her sister with her to the casting. Claudia herself did not pass the test, but the director persuaded Francesca, who was indifferent to the world of cinema, to star in the lead role. It was Damiani who came up with the pseudonym Ornella Muti for the aspiring actress. This is a forced step, since at that time there was already a celebrity in Italian cinema by the name of Rivell.

Muti made her film debut at the age of 14 in The Most Beautiful Wife (1970). The first role did not make a star out of the girl, but marked the beginning of an acting career. Since then, Ornella has received offers to participate in various film projects. The actress starred mainly in low-budget films with erotic overtones, but she was glad of that too. Notable success came to the actress in 1974, after filming in the comedy "People's Novel". In the same year, another successful film "Apassionata" was released.

The turning point in Muti's career is called the work in the film "The Last Woman" (1976), in which the actress took part together with the French actor Gerard Depardieu. In this tape, she changed her role - she got a different role, after which the girl began to be perceived on a level with Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida.

The films "Bishop's Room" and "New Monsters" only strengthened the status of the artist. Ornella appears on the screen with Michele Placido in the comedy "The People's Novel", and in the detective story "Death of a Scoundrel", Alain Delon becomes her partner.

Worldwide popularity came to Ornella after filming in the film "The Taming of the Shrew" (1980), where the actress played with Adriano Celentano. This film was especially loved by audiences in the USSR. A year later, together with Celentano, she starred in the film "Mad in Love". The creative biography of Ornella Muti will be closely connected with the legendary actor.

In addition to Italian cinema, Muti's filmography contains European films, among them the fantastic blockbuster Flash Gordon (1980), the dramas Swann's Love (1984) and The Chronicle of a Death Announced (1987). The directors appreciated Ornella not only for her beauty and ability to stay in the frame, but also for her acting talent for reincarnation. It was not for nothing that Muti became the leading actress in the films of Marco Ferreri, Peter Greenaway and Woody Allen.

In the early 90s, the actress was involved in the filming of American films: the comedy "Oscar" (1991) and "Once Upon a Breach of the Law" (1992). In 1998, the film actress starred in the serial film The Count of Monte Cristo. Further notable works were the roles in the films "Social Lions" (2000), "Merry and Tanned", "Investigation" (2006), "Roman Adventures" (2012).

In 2016, the actress took part in the filming of the video for the singer and showman Alexander Revva, who performs under the stage name Arthur Pirozhkov. The video for the song #kakchelentano was created based on the legendary Italian film The Taming of the Shrew. In the video, the Russian comedian used both the storyline and Celentano's incendiary dances, presented in the cult tape, and Ornella played herself.

In November 2016, the media reported that Muti had moved to Russia. According to press reports, the actress acquired real estate in the center of the Russian capital, not far from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and also expressed a desire to become a citizen of the Russian Federation.

Soon, journalists found out that the employees of the FMS of Russia registered the Italian film actress in a house in the east of the capital. The residential building is located in one of the most criminal areas of the city - in Golyanovo. This area of ​​Moscow even entered the top three places in the world that are not recommended for visiting for foreign tourists. Users of social networks were surprised by this choice of the actress.

In 2016, Ornella Muti also attended the Evening Urgant program. The actress shared her impressions of her stay in Russia.

In the summer of 2017, the International Moscow Film Festival (MIFF) took place, one of the jury members of which was Ornella Muti. In addition to the Italian screen star, Iranian director Reza Mirkarimi, Finnish director Jorn Johan Donner, and Spanish director and screenwriter Albert Serra took the judges' seats.

The actress is also known for her novels. In her youth, Ornella fell in love with an attractive Italian, and after a while she became pregnant from him. The father of the unborn child left the actress after the woman refused to have an abortion. The artist still does not disclose the name of this person.

The actress gave birth to her daughter Nike, and a year later she agreed to become the legal wife of Alessio Orano, who was the actress's partner in the filming of the first film. The marriage broke up, while Alessio told everyone the truth about what was not Nike's father, which undermined the actress's reputation.

Ornella's next choice was producer Federico Facchinetti. The actress gave her husband two children - a boy Andrea and a girl Carolina. After a while, it turned out that the husband was engaged in financial fraud, writing false checks in the name of his wife and losing large sums in the casino. After learning the truth, Muti agreed to pay Federico's debts in exchange for a divorce.

In an interview with representatives of the Italian media, the actress said that she had an affair with Adriano Celentano, but the relationship was not successful, because the actor was not going to leave his legal wife. In 1998, Ornella Muti became the wife of plastic surgeon Stefano Picollo. The chosen one is 10 years younger than the movie star, but this did not prevent the lovers from living in marriage until 2008.

The media have repeatedly reported that the actress is in a relationship with the network marketing genius Fabrice Kererve. It was with him that Ornella moved to Moscow, where she acquired housing. The entrepreneur has established a business in Russia that allows the artist to live in two countries.

Ornella Muti does not regret the tumultuous events that accompanied her personal life. She still looks young thanks to daily gymnastics and the absence of bad habits. The figure of the performer has practically not changed over the years, with a height of 168 cm, her weight does not exceed 52-54 kg, which Ornella demonstrates in numerous photos on Instagram. The Italian, as in her youth, prefers bright makeup that emphasizes the beauty of her almond-shaped eyes.

Nowadays, the Italian actress can be found more and more often on the theater stage. In 2018, Ornella became the performer of the role of Anna Ioannovna in a ballet production with elements of the opera The Crystal Palace, which was only shown in Russia on the stage of the State Kremlin Palace.
