Muti's childhood and family
The girl was born in Rome.
Her birth name is Francesca Romana Rivelli. Francesca's dad is Neapolitan, and her mother's family emigrated to Italy from Estonia, where they moved from Leningrad during the revolution. The girl's father worked as a correspondent, and her mother was a sculptor. The family lived very poorly; there was always not enough money. In addition to Francesca, her older sister Claudia grew up in the family. At the age of ten, the children were left without a father. He died, and they were raised only by their mother, which is why they barely had enough money for food.
When Francesca turned thirteen, she really wanted to dress fashionably, as many of her classmates did. Since there was no such opportunity, she found a way out - she went to an art school, where she posed nude. In addition, she was photographed for men's magazines, lying about her age - she told everyone that she was eighteen.
Ornella Muti in her youth
It is quite natural that this soon became known. One of the magazines with an explicit photograph of a girl fell into the hands of a school teacher. As a result, both her mother and the school principal found out about it. Realizing that the family’s financial situation was unenviable, the scandal was hushed up. The girl told everyone that, after all, she earns money and does not steal.
Biography
The Italian actress was born in the spring of 1955 in Rome. The father of the future star was a journalist, and his mother was a sculptor. Ornella has a twin sister, Claudia. Muti has Russian roots. Her maternal grandparents moved from Leningrad to Estonia, and later to Italy.
When the girl was ten years old, her father died. The mother was left alone with her daughters; financially it was very difficult for the family. Meanwhile, by the age of thirteen, the future celebrity had turned into a beautiful girl and looked older than her age. It was at this time that, secretly from her mother, Francesca Romana Rivelli (the actress’s real name) began posing half-naked at an art school.

At the same time, the young girl worked part-time on the set. The piquant photographs were seen not only by beauty connoisseurs, but also by teachers and mother. There was a big scandal, which almost became the reason for Ornella’s expulsion from school, but the administration of the educational institution took into account the poverty of the Rivelli family, so they decided to simply forget about the unpleasant incident.
Ornella Muti's first roles
Claudia became seriously interested in cinema.
The girl decided to go to the audition for the film “The Most Beautiful Wife,” which Domiano Domiani was going to direct. Since she was afraid to go alone, she decided to take Francesca with her. Despite the fact that Francesca did not want to go with her sister at all, she still agreed. The director, with an experienced eye, immediately identified a girl with a memorable, extraordinary appearance. Almost immediately she was sent to audition, not paying attention to the protests. Francesca was fourteen years old, and her heroine according to the script was seventeen, nevertheless, the director chose her. Due to her young age, it was difficult for the girl to play love; the director had to put a lot of effort into explaining this to her. Domiano Domiani came up with the pseudonym Ornella Muti for the debutante. This became necessary due to the fact that there was already an actress named Rivelli.
Young Ornella Muti After her first successful role, the girl began to be invited to light comedies. She took part in the filming of such films as “The Sun on Your Skin”, “Fionina”, etc. The most striking films were “People’s Romance” and “Apassionata”. Being shy and shy by nature, the actress never refused to undress on camera. She, like many Italian actresses, managed to combine sexuality with gullibility and childlike innocence.
Early biography of Ornella Muti
On March 9, 1955, two girls were born into the Rivelli family - twins. One was named Claudia, and the second was christened Francesca Romana. Later, as her acting career took off, she would take the pseudonym Ornel Muti. The future actress owes her bright beauty to her mother Ilse Renate Croise, a journalist from Naples who also has Russian genes. The surname of Ilse Renata is from Solovyov’s father, but she was born in Estonia. Ornella Muti's grandparents lived in St. Petersburg for a long time, and then moved to Estonia. Perhaps it was her Slavic roots that influenced the actress’s decision to connect her life with Russia in the future.

New films with Ornella Muti
The turning point in Ornella’s film career was the offer from director Marco Ferreri to star in the film “The Last Woman.”
The role offered to her was not at all similar to the same type of roles of a beautiful girl in comedies. After this film, Francesca rose to the rank of the first cinema stars. They began to perceive her on a level with Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren. Soon the actress played with Alain Delon in the film “First Love”, then work followed with Grigory Chukhrai. Her name became known not only within Italy; the whole world began to admire the roles she played.
Adriano Celentano and Ornella Muti: so that the dress does not spoil The film “The Taming of the Shrew”, where Muti played together with Adriano Celentano, was a resounding success. During filming, feelings flared up between the main characters, and Ornella left her husband. Together with Celentano they starred in the film “Madly in Love”. Soon the actress was again invited to act in film by Marco Ferreri. It was the painting "The Girl from Tries". By the end of filming, the actress fell in love with the director. This was followed by work in several more of his films.
Career
After some time, Francesca’s sister, who always dreamed of becoming an actress, gathered for a casting for the film “The Most Beautiful Wife” by film director Damiano Damiani.
To be extra brave, Claudia took her sister with her to the audition. Claudia herself did not pass the casting, but the film director persuaded Francesca, who was indifferent to cinema, to play the main role. It was Damiano who came up with the stage name for the aspiring artist. Ornella Muti made her film debut at the age of fourteen.

The first role did not make her a celebrity, but marked the beginning of her creative career. Since then, Muti has received many job offers. The actress initially played in low-budget films, but was glad. Significant success came to Ornella in the mid-seventies, after filming in “The People's Romance”, as well as “Appassionata”.
The work in the film “The Last Woman,” in which Muti took part along with Gerard Depardieu, is considered a turning point in the actress’s life. In this film, the actress got another role, after which the actress began to be trusted with more interesting characters.
Personal life of Ornella Muti
While filming her first film in her life, young Ornella fell in love with a certain Italian, and they began an affair. When she was eighteen, the girl became pregnant and gave birth to a girl, Nike. The young man simply disappeared long before the birth of the child. In addition, he turned out to be a married man. A year passed, and the actress became the wife of Alessio Orano.
Ornella Muti and Adriano Celentano
Muti was envied by many actresses when her career took off rapidly. One-day actresses vied with each other to tell the press about her non-existent novels and fictitious adventures.
When Ornella began a relationship with Adriano Celentano, she felt happy. Happiness ended when Francesca realized that he was not going to leave his wife, just as she left her husband for the sake of a relationship with him.
The actress's second husband was producer Federico Facchinetti. Soon they had a son, Andrea, and then a daughter, Caroline. A few years later, it turned out that the husband was involved in financial fraud and was losing considerable sums in casinos; in addition, he had mistresses. When Francesca found out about this, she agreed to pay his debts in exchange for a divorce. It is known that a year later Federico ended up in prison due to some new fraud.
Francesca had a thirteen-year relationship with a plastic surgeon named Stefano Piccolo. After that, she fell in love with tycoon Fabrice Kererve, who is ten years younger than her. Thanks to his help, the actress organized her own jewelry business and released a collection of jewelry. Not long ago they legalized their relationship.
"Taming of the Shrew"
World fame came to Ornella Muti after filming in the film “The Taming of the Shrew,” where she worked with Adriano Celentano. This film was loved by television viewers in the Soviet Union. A year later, together with Celentano Muti, she starred in the film “Madly in Love.” It is with the famous artist that Ornella’s biography will be closely connected.

In addition to Italian cinema, Muti’s filmography includes European films - “Flash Gordon”, “Chronicle of a Death Foretold”. Film directors valued Ornella Muti not only for her attractiveness and ability to stay in the frame, but also for her acting talent.
It’s no wonder that the actress played leading roles in films by Marco Ferreri, as well as Peter Greenaway and Woody Allen. In the early nineties, the artist was involved in the filming of American films.
Ornella Muti: born beautiful
Casting for the main role in Damiano Damiani’s film “The Most Beautiful Wife” was in full swing when another beautiful girl appeared, very timid, before the famous director. But Damiano’s gaze only slightly glanced at her; he was attracted by something else, extraneous. More precisely, an outsider. A little further away, another girl stood against the wall, apparently a companion, who, unlike her friend, was much more confident. The director decisively waved his hand, signaling to come closer.
No, I just came with my sister, I don’t want to act, you’re looking at her!
— soon indignant screams were heard. But Damiano was relentless - he found his main character, period. Only something needs to be done with the name: Francesca is too simple and ubiquitous, and there is already one actress with the surname Rivelli. You need something sonorous, catchy and elegant at the same time. Something like Ornella. Yes exactly. So it will be. Ornella Muti is a name for a possible star. At this moment, the real stars also agreed on this assumption.
Francesca's grandparents are from Leningrad, from which they emigrated to Estonia. And their daughter fell in love and married an Italian doctor. This is how two beautiful twin sisters Francesca and Claudia were born. The only thing is that they had completely opposite characters. Claudia was always diligent, shy and modest, quietly dreaming of becoming an actress. Trouble came to the house when the girls were ten years old - their father died. It was a difficult time: the mother was trying to cope with her grief, and meanwhile the sisters were rapidly growing up.
Only, if Claudia pored over textbooks, then 14-year-old Francesca began posing as a nude model at an art college. She simply lied that she was already 17 years old, and was not at all embarrassed to appear nude in the relevant magazines. When the mother eventually caught the eye of one of them, she had to whip her shameless daughter with that magazine. And when they found out about the same thing at school, Francesca proudly declared:
Yes, this is how I make money. But I don’t steal!
Knowing the family's plight, the teachers relented and turned a blind eye to this disgrace.
What would have come of this if not for the timid Cladiudia one day she gathered her courage and went to the casting, which she read about in the newspaper. No one will ever know. And as support, she finally persuaded her sister to go with her... From that moment on, a new life began for Francesca, or now Ornella. The film was a success, the first fans appeared and invitations from other famous directors followed.
Charm is a matter of luck.
Ornella's partner in the first film was young Alessio Orano - the dream of all Italian schoolgirls, who fell in love with Ornella, who did not pay any attention to him. The fact is that the young actress has already fallen in love with someone else. But love turned into an early pregnancy. But no one ever found out the father’s name. Nine months later, Ornella gave birth to a daughter, Nike, and another year later, the young mother accepted the proposal from the persistent Orano, and they got married.
But if Alessio immediately turned into a typical Italian father, shaking over his child, then Ornella had no time for this - she devoted very little time to her baby. She was worried about only one thing at that time - filming with the famous Marco Ferreri. The film "The Last Woman" became a stumbling block for the Muti-Orano family. Ornella began to feel confident again, it began to seem to her again that her graceful figure and talent could rule the world. And the director Marco himself began to court the young stunning beauty. And Ornella, once returning home, told her husband that he was not a match for her:
It's a shame to appear in public with you, you're too ugly for me
By the way, that affair with Ferreri ended in nothing. Yes, and the marriage broke up.
Grandmother was now sitting with little Nike, and Ornella was busy filming. The actress agreed to all offers in a row, with her participation several films were released a year, she worked seven days a week. Even when she was offered roles with explicit scenes, Ornella agreed and undressed without hesitation and without any conditions. Nude photographs of Muti appeared in all erotic magazines in Italy. “The most desirable girl in the Italian Playboy was then called Donna Bambina - or woman-child, innocent and vicious at the same time, inaccessible and desirable. She was able to supplant such Italian film goddesses as Sophia Loren and Claudia Cardinale.
Maybe because before me in Italian cinema there was almost no undressing. But I didn't want to shock or confuse anyone with this. Frankly, I don't like stripping scenes in movies. But I always act in them myself, without stunt doubles. Because an actress will never do what a stunt double can do.
In the film “The Last Woman” Ornella Muti played together with Gerard Depardieu, and in 1978 the very popular film “First Love” was released. A year later, Muti flies to the USSR to star in the film “Life is Beautiful” by Grigory Chukhrai, and after just a few months she already meets Adriano Celentano on the set of “The Taming of the Shrew.” The career became more and more dizzying.
Ornella also had an affair with the most charming Italian, although it was short-lived, like a flash.
Italian producer and businessman Federico Facchinetti courted Ornella very beautifully and expensively. He spoke beautiful compliments, showered him with gifts and behaved very gallantly. As a result, Muti agreed to move in with him and became Facchinetti’s common-law wife. Soon it became known about the pregnancy, which took Ornella by surprise - filming was in full swing. Muti even wanted to refuse the role, but the director dissuaded her:
I'll take a picture of you pregnant, there will be a scandal!
The scandal really turned out to be a success - in the film, Ornella, who had already given birth, showed her newborn daughter to the whole world. And the happy Father Fachinetti was at the height of bliss.
The only son was not slow to follow the second daughter. During his christening, Andrea Fachinetti asked Ornella to officially become his wife, and after 10 years of marriage they got married. But alas, the happiness was short-lived. Federico is arrested on charges of embezzling shareholder funds, and his relationship with another woman is revealed. At the same time, young Nike announces to her still young mother that she is pregnant and will give birth without a father.
Ornella withstood all the blows of fate with dignity - she raised funds and rescued her husband from prison, after which she immediately divorced. She takes her daughter and granddaughter under her wing, blaming only herself for her daughter’s fate. By the way, Nike soon met a good young man who became an equally good father for her baby.
Ornella’s personal life is also improving. In the late 90s, she married the most famous plastic surgeon in Italy, Stefano Piccolo, who was 10 years younger than her.
When Stefano is with me, it seems to me that I will never grow old!
The actress also continues to live between film sets in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and the USA. She ends up leaving Italy and moving to Paris.
In addition to all the countless film awards, Muti also receives the title of “sexiest grandmother on the planet.”
Since even at 52 years old she is not ashamed to undress in front of the camera.
“I don’t like hearing from people how beautiful I was at thirty,” says the actress. - I then starred in three films in a year and was not happy with my reflection in the mirror. Now everything is different. Age has given me the opportunity to enjoy the silence and clarity of what is happening. I won’t risk talking about happiness, but there is definitely harmony in my soul.
Ornella lived in this marriage for 10 wonderful years, during which time she not only managed to star in many films, but also bought vineyards in Tuscany and began producing her own wine. And the parting with Piccolo was calm, love came and went.
But Ornella remained alone for only a year and a half. Her next chosen one was the French billionaire Fabrice Kererve. With him, she became interested in jewelry and released several lines of her jewelry. Until now, the famous Italian actress is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.
With son and daughter Nike
“Everything can be combined,” she replies. - Actress - excellent. Mother - wonderful. Children are my happiness, I gave up a lot for them - career-wise - and never regretted it. But a sexy granny isn’t bad either?
Adriano Celentano and Ornella Muti list of films
The fatal heartthrob, actor and famous singer Adriano Celentano played not the least role in Ornella’s life. They starred together in several films, because they looked simply wonderful together on camera. Adriano Celentano and Ornella Muti list of films is very easy to find on the Internet.
The most popular and in demand among them are “The Taming of the Shrew” and “Madly in Love.” It’s interesting that they had an affair not only on set, but also in life. Ornella, in love, left her husband for Celentano, but the actor himself refused to leave his wife. So life doesn't always happen like in the movies.
64-year-old Ornella Muti boasted an incredible stretch
At 64 years old, Ornella Muti easily outshines many young girls: the actress has incredible stretch and a beautiful figure. The Italian film star has been practicing yoga since her youth, and now she trains with a personal trainer several times a week. During classes, the actress shows miracles of flexibility worthy of circus acrobats. On her Instagram, Ornella shared a video of one of her workouts, boasting of excellent stretching.

In the video, Ornella, dressed in a blue, tight-fitting tracksuit, works out with a trainer. The actress settled down right in the courtyard of her beautiful villa. The owner was accompanied by her pets – two miniature dogs. While Ornella did handstands and horizontal splits, the doggies twirled around her yoga mat. The actress easily performed the most difficult elements of the exercises, not forgetting to smile at the camera.
It is noticeable that everything is fine with the audience’s favorite: she is in excellent shape, carefully monitors her diet (Ornella is a vegetarian) and is still in demand as an actress. True, she now prefers theater to cinema. In a recent interview with the Italian radio station Radio 2, the star said that she could become an excellent athlete. Ornella started out as a model and never even dreamed of acting.
“I just came for the company to audition, but they chose me,” said the actress. - That's how fate decreed.

The actress is a regular participant in film festivals and a welcome guest at social parties. Plus, Ornella still shoots for glossy magazines: a photo recently appeared on Instagram, capturing a working moment from one of the photo shoots. 64-year-old Muti poses in the pool in only panties, exposing her slender legs and flawless thighs. A film crew – a photographer and assistants – was located around.

Ornella Muti's daughter - Nike
Ornella Muti's daughter Nike was born when Ornella, one might say, was still a child herself. The actress was then only 18. The girl then participated in her debut filming and fell in love with a handsome Italian actor, whose name remains unknown.
Ornella became pregnant, but the man left her before the girl was born. The appearance of her daughter did not hinder the girl one bit. She continued to build a career, act in films and, at the same time, take care of her daughter. Currently, Nike is already an adult woman herself, and she knows perfectly well the story of her own birth.
Filmography: films starring Ornella Muti
The filmography of this actress is very diverse. After her debut film, she began acting in comedies and more. Ornella Muti and Gerard Depardieu, as well as many other famous actors, looked great on camera. The young actress played in films such as “A People’s Romance” or “The Sun on Your Skin.”
Of course, we should not forget about the films with Adriano Celentano, which brought her enormous popularity - “The Taming of the Shrew”, “Madly in Love” and others. It should be noted that at the peak of her fame, Ornella Muti was known almost all over the world, and fans even compared her to the notorious Sophia Loren.
Ornella Muti's daughter - Carolina
Ornella Muti's daughter Carolina became the third and last child of this magnificent actress. The third and youngest child in the family, Carolina was born while Ornella was still married to Federico Facchinetti. The reason for the divorce has already been mentioned, and even the presence of two children did not save the family. Rather, for Ornella, this became another reason to divorce the swindler and traitor, who Facchinetti eventually turned out to be.
The family broke up when Caroline and her older brother Andrea were still very young. Today Carolina Facchinetti is already an adult woman, but almost nothing is known about her.
Personal life of the actress
At a young age, Ornella fell in love with an attractive man and then became pregnant with his child. The future baby's father left the artist after Muti refused to have an abortion. Ornella has not yet revealed the name of this Italian.
It is only known that at that time the man was not free and his wife was also pregnant. The artist gave birth to a daughter, and a year later she agreed to become the wife of Alessio Orano, who was Muti’s filming partner. They soon divorced, and Alessio told everyone the truth that he was not the father of Ornella's child, which undermined her reputation.

The next man in Muti's life was Federico Facchinetti. The artist gave him two children - a boy and a girl. After a while, it turned out that the husband was involved in financial fraud. Having learned the truth, Ornella agreed to solve Federico's problems in exchange for an official divorce.
In an interview, Muti said that she had a romantic relationship with Adriano Celentano, but the actor had no intention of leaving his wife. In the late nineties, Ornella became the wife of surgeon Stefano Piccolo. The man is ten years younger than the Italian artist, but this did not stop them from being married until 2008. Journalists have repeatedly reported that Ornella Muti is in a relationship with Fabrice Kererve.
Ornella Muti's son Andrea
Ornella Muti's son Andrea was born in his second marriage, when the actress was married to Federico Facchinetti. Andrea became her first and only son. And the woman lived happily with Facchinetti for several years, until she learned that her husband was not only cheating on her with numerous mistresses, but was also engaged in financial fraud.
Ornella was not ready to risk her children, so she filed for divorce. Currently, Andrea is already an adult, successful man who gets along well with his stepfather and supports his mother. What Andrea does professionally is not known for certain.
