YEREVAN, JULY 21, ARMENPRESS: The popular Italian actress, the Honorary Guest of the 12th international film festival Golden Apricot Ornella Muti is impressed with the visit to Armenia. The fact is proved by innumerable photos in her Facebook and Instagram pages, representing the visit of the actress to our country.

Armenpress reports that during the recent days Muti has published and spread nearly twenty photos, including those, taken with the other Honorary Guest of the 12th international film festival Golden Apricot, the actress Nastassja Kinski. In the photos she also expresses gratitude to Yerevan. Muti used the hashtags #goldenapricotfestival #armenia #yerevan, as well as reposted photos from other users.

“I travel around the world very often and always received very well. But in Armenia I got excited more than in any other country. There is upbringing, respect and love here that you showed me. Thank you”, - said Muti.

A model in her adolescence, Italian beauty Ornella Muti posed for illustrated novels before her film bow at age 15. Ornella has worked for such European cinematic greats as Francesco Rosi and Volker Schlondorff; her most celebrated appearances have been in the erotic psychological dramas directed by Marco Ferreri. The bulk of her starring films have borne such come-hither titles as Appasionata and Bilingual Lover. American movie fans got an eyeful of Ornella Muti as the sensuous Princess Aura in 1980's Flash Gordon, while television fans were treated to Ornella's formidable presence in the 1987 TV movie Casanova (1987).
