Now that's amore! Italian siren Monica Bellucci, 52, goes TOPLESS for very racy sex scene with Gael Garcia Bernal as she joins Mozart in the Jungle

And Italian actress Monica Bellucci has proven once again that age is but a number after making her debut in Amazon drama Mozart in the Jungle.

The stunning 51-year-old plays reclusive opera diva Alessandra in the show - and certainly makes an entrance to remember in series three with a racy sex scene.

Quite the performance: Italian actress Monica Bellucci has proven once again that age is but a number after making her debut in Amazon drama Mozart in the Jungle

The drama's main conductor character Rodrigo De Souza (played by Gael Garcia Bernal) heads to Venice from New York to oversee a comeback concert for the ageing soprano, known as La fiamma.

And while she is overcome with anxiety about where her career is going, the singer certainly isn't lacking in confidence in the bedroom.

After being seduced by De Souza, the pair end up in bed and enjoy a night of passion - with Bellucci giving her all to the role and going topless.

Talking about hiring the beauty for the role, the show's co-creator Roman Coppola insisted she was the obvious woman for the job.

Talking about hiring the beauty for the role, the show's co-creator Roman Coppola insisted she was the obvious woman for the job, because she's 'Italian, fiery... and very beautiful'

New addition: The beauty is one of the latest stars to join the show - focusing on the life of an handsome young conductor in New York - in its third season 

He said: 'She felt authentic... She’s Italian, she’s fiery, and obviously, very beautiful and interesting and dynamic. So, it just seemed like a no-brainer.'

Ironically, Coppola believes her hiring is a career coming 'full circle' - as he convinced his father Francis Ford Coppola to hire Monica for Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992, her third film role.

She played one of Dracula's brides opposite Gary Oldman's vampiric villain in the huge box office hit.

Explaining to Entertainment Tonight, he added: 'So, when it came up that she could be in Mozart, it pleased me.'
