One of the most beautiful women in the world is naked in a film from one of the world’s greatest directors. (I like all of Tornatore’s movies.)
Tuna did two sets of captures from this film. These are from the Region 2 DVD, which had more nudity than the North American release. He explained the differences in his glowing review.

This is my vote for the greatest nude performance. The director had the project in mind for years, but didn’t believe it could ever be made because no actress could embody the woman whose beauty makes a whole town mad. Then he discovered Bellucci.
One of the truly great cinematic beauties, and for my money she never looked better than in this film. Nor was she ever more naked.
Agree on all counts.
When it came out on DVD, I made sure to get the region 2 for my collection.
