Ornella Muti is one of the most iconic actresses of the seventies, in fact she participated in several successful films of that period with several famous actors with whom she collaborated. More recently we saw her next to Amadeus how one of the co – hosts of the Sanremo Festival.
Ornella Muti has always been one of the most loved actresses by Italians, one of the most followed and also one of the best.

She also received three nominations for Best Actress at the David di Donatello and one for Best Actress at the European Film Awards in 1988. Ornella Muti has worked with the greatest international directors interpreting different genres, among the directors she met along the way we remember Mario Monicelli, Francesco Nuti, Paolo Virzì and Woody Allen.
Ornella Muti made her debut at fourteen for Damiano Damiani as the protagonist of his film The Most Beautiful Wife, inspired by the story of Franca Viola, from Alcamo in Sicily, the first woman to refuse a shotgun marriage. It was a lucky debut that earned her several roles later, both in Italy and abroad and in photo novels, in which she is credited as Francesca Rivelli, together with her sister.
One of the most important meetings for Ornella Muti was in 1974, when Mario Monicelli wanted it in the film Popular novel with the great Ugo Tognazzi in the role of the Milanese worker Basletti. The film, like many by Maestro Monicelli, was a great success with both audiences and critics and Muti officially achieved notoriety so much that he participated in several important films such as Flash Gordon, Story of Ordinary Madness, The Tamed Shrew, Mad In Love and The Bilingual Lover.
1994 was the year she was proclaimed the most beautiful woman in the world by the US magazine Class. On the love front the actress had numerous flirts including José Luis Bermúdez de Castro, film producer with whom he lived a wonderful love story from which his daughter was born Naike Rivelli. A few years later, Ornella meets Federico Fachinetti whom she marries in the same year but their marriage lasts until 1996.
Among the flirtations that have been attributed to her there is also, in fact, the one with Adriano Celentano.
