The daughter of an Italian movie star harshly responded to critics of her mother's visits to Russia

I am proud that I am half Russian. This was stated by the daughter of Italian movie star Ornella Muti, model, actress and singer Nike Rivelli on her social network page.

Earlier, one of the Italian publications published a critical article about Muti's visit to the International Consumer Cooperation Forum, which was held in Kazan in early July. The text also recalled that earlier Muti took part in the Moscow Fashion Week in 2024, and in 2023 she brought to Russia's performance "Beethoven — the heroic life of a genius".

"My grandmother is Russian, she is no longer with us. We are half Russian," Rivelli said.

According to her, the star family still has relatives in Russia.

"Stop these attacks on my mother. We will visit our relatives in our dear, beloved Russia until the end of our days," Rivelli concluded.

As EADaily reported, in March 2024, Ornella Muti took part in the Moscow Fashion Week, during which her daughter Nike Rivelli took part in the MaisonESVE brand show. On the market, the movie star chose a bag of the Russian brand PEPFER. During the briefing, the star called on the Russian public and journalists to be proud of their talents in order to build a strong fashion industry, and not to focus on the West.

According to the telegram channel Mash, the luggage of the movie star was lost on the way to St. Petersburg. At the same time, it was unknown which airline was responsible for Muti's luggage.
