Last September, one of the world’s most sensual, beautiful and intuitively-wise women — particularly when the topic is men — actor Monica Bellucci celebrated her 60th birthday.

The serene simplicity and beauty of the 20-year Cartier ambassador’s young girl life in Italy’s Umbria has never abandoned her. The region contrasts sharply with the glamour and sophistication of Paris, where Bellucci moved in 1995 to advance her career.

Spain’s Telva [IG] magazine captured the fascinating mystique of Monica Belluci on their January 2025 cover. The star was styled by fashion director Alicia Chapac in the Cartier jewelry exclusive fashion story lensed by Jesús Isnard [IG].

Bellucci’s romantic relationship with director Tim Burton remains strong. The pair reconnected at the 2022 Lumière Film Festival in France, after a brief meeting at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

Bellucci has stated that in France, actresses are ‘Mademoiselle’ all their lives, never ‘Madame’. At age 60, there’s no doubt that the star who speaks French, Italian and English fluently is in her prime.
