One of the most beautiful Italian actresses, the star of the film "The Taming of the Shrew" by Ornella Muti, beloved by many, can become a Russian woman. Following the Frenchman Gerard Depardieu, the actress thought about obtaining Russian citizenship. This topic is already actively discussed in the domestic media. It is noted that the chances of Ornella Muti to obtain citizenship are quite high, because, as the actress herself admitted, her mother has Russian roots, her grandfather and grandmother originally from St. Petersburg.
In addition, there were recent news about the personal life of a movie star. According to rumors, the sympathy of the actress to Russia can warm up and events on the personal front. Many media, referring to the words of TV host Andrey Malakhov, reported the novel of the famous Italian with the Russian oligarch. True, the name of the lucky man has not yet been disclosed.

Ornella Muti - half Italian, half Russian
It is known that the actress often comes to Russia. In one of the interviews the film star noted that her mother had given her a lot from Russian culture, and she considers herself to be half Italian, half Russian, that's why she likes working in Russia, although it is very difficult to master the language.
According to Muti, her mother's parents were born in St. Petersburg, and she herself knows and loves this city. Ornella admitted that when she arrived in St. Petersburg, she felt like a princess. She said that her mother wanted to return to Russia, and this desire was transferred to herself.
"I always understood that this is another, distant people, but these are the two opposites that exist in me," the star noted in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda. - I like to think about my roots, this is my soul. And that's why I'm always so attached to Russia. "
But Ornella Muti's love of Russia led her to problems with the law. In February 2015, the Italian court sentenced the actress to an 8-month imprisonment and a fine of 600 euros, charging her with fraud. As it turned out, in December 2010, Muti canceled the performance of Verdi di Pordenone Theater in Friuli, presenting a certificate of illness, and she went to St. Petersburg for a charity dinner with Putin.
