Emerging from the shapely shadows of Italy’s most iconic screen sirens Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinale, Gina Lollobrigida, and Monica Bellucci is Francesca Berrettini. Although the latter lady may not fill out a brassiere as much as the Mediterranean mamas who came before her, that doesn’t mean her sleek physique won’t make men weak in the knees and strong in the schlong! With a head of dark hair and a firm figure, Signorina Berrettini was meant to shed her threads on camera! So, it’s no surprise the alluring ingénue was cast in the premiere season of Rome (2005). Thanks to the HBO show, audience members can travel back to ancient times when life was one giant toga party — only with war, political intrigue, assassinations, orgies, and Francesca’s fabulous flesh! The British-American-Italian drama features Polly Walker, Lindsay Duncan, Lyndsey Marshal, Kerry Condon, Francesca Fowler, Indira Varma, and Ms. Berrettini bare breasts! Just as Nero fiddled while Rome was burning, home viewers can fiddle too as they watch Fran and another topless babe battle one another per Mark Antony’s (James Purefoy) orders. Francesca is the one without the helmet, if you’re looking that far up. She wins the sword fight, but the true winners are actually the home viewers who will be playing along with their flesh swords! Like the saying, “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” nor is Francesca’s career. For years, we’ve been waiting for this skintastic actress to appear in another production that’ll raise our interest (among other things). C’mon, dear!
