About Claudia Rivelli

Born to a father from Naples and a mother hailing from Estonia, who was also a sculptor named Ilse Renate Krause, Claudia Rivelli is the elder sibling of the renowned actress Ornella Muti. Her artistic inclinations extend to a personal passion for creating naive genre paintings. While her presence in film was brief, marked by a single appearance in the 1969 movie Twice Judas, she maintained a connection to the cinematic world through her first marriage in 1974 to a Spanish producer, a union that eventually ended in divorce. Rivelli later entered into a second marriage with Paolo Leone, the son of former Italian Republic president Giovanni Leone, with whom she raised two children.
