Bianca Balti and Monica Bellucci play the matriarchs of a traditional Italian family for the spring 2012 campaign from Dolce & Gabbana.

Here’s the gorgeous Italian actress Monica Bellucci starring in new commercial for Martini Gold by Dolce & Gabbana.

The new advertising campaign for Martini Gold by Dolce & Gabbana was unveiled Tuesday in Milan. The spot features Italian actress Monica Bellucci.

The spot was directed by Jonas Akerlund, who had been also directing some really popular music videos for Madonna and Lady Gaga recently.

In the advertisement — a tribute to Oscar-winning Italian director Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita” — the designers sit at a table, singing and laughing with Bellucci.

Luxury goods company Cartier on Thursday braved the deepening global recession to launch its biggest boutique so far in the Middle East.

The 700 square-meter showroom in the upscale Dubai Mall testifies to the Cartier’s confidence that chilly economic winds will not deter well-heeled residents and visitors to Dubai from buying its jewelry, watches, handbags and other high-end merchandise.

The opening event was attended by actress Monica Bellucci and Bollywood stars including Anil Kapoor.
