Such a mature face, she could have played in "Night of the Iguana" and other Ava Gardner movies...her black hair and well taken care of lashes and brows...her skin ,tan or white...but her posture is strong. No girl at all to this woman ..the eyes are sad and somewhat withdrawn but that is not a bad thing.
I think of hybrid Ava Gardner/ Anna Magnani ..I use all these actors as reference of course Ms. Bellucci has her own style and body of work.
one more thing about the eyes , there is light coming from them.
