Angela: First Friday of Lent and this picture Monica Belluci is got me mea culpa mea culpa! As an additional note, I must say to me she looks absolutely stunning.
The male ideal of beauty is a little neglected.
My ideal in masculine beauty is like this, mainly It would be an apparent normality without actually entering into the counterpoint where male and female beauty merge in a certain way.what these images reflect, it has to be a beauty opposite to what I consider or demand in women.
Don't be surprised, one thing has nothing to do with the other.
The men of the Maghreb would be the best example of my ideal.

It does not have to reach the step where the beauty that we consider universal already appears
As these two images below I already consider that they reach a level where it is not my ideal of male beauty.

Well, we are completely different again. I think the man in the last picture is stunningly gorgeous. The prior man is too exotic for me. The first ones are of homely men. There are handsome Magrebi's in my opinion, but that's not them.Quote:

I think, that there are basically no cultures or people who would find these men not handsome. So, beauty is not always in the eyes of the beholder. In fact, there is a universal beauty standard that is deeply rooted in humans. You should open a thread where people can vote for the most attractive Italian actor/model with these guys.
You prefer only the darkest of the beautiful Italian men I have posted? Don't like the ones on the previous post?Quote:

As for the Italian ones, we're lucky, and unlucky, in the beauty of our men.
If I were going just by still photos I wouldn't include her: Matilda DeAngelis of Bologna.
Mostly it's her nose, which she can't help, and her eyebrows, which she can, and that she looks too stick like. However, I saw her in the series The Undoing, with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant. She was extraordinarily gorgeous, and since she was naked a good amount of time, that included her figure. I don't know what it was; did she gain weight, was it because they made her darker skinned in order to play a Latina, made her hair wilder, shadow her face to make her nose look different? I don't know, but she was breathtaking; it was completely understandable that she would make men, and women, mad. The other wonderful thing is that even at such a young age she was able to create a character whom you would want to hate vulnerable, and so irresistible that you are "on her side" throughout the film no matter her behavior.

The film:

"The socially constructed notion that physical attractiveness is one of women's most important assets, and something all women should strive to achieve and maintain," says the feminine beauty ideal. From culture to culture, the feminine beauty ideal, which includes female body shape, varies.

I am partial to Claire Forlani and Olivia Wilde:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...cropped%29.jpg
Well, I'm with you as to Claire Forlani. I really like her face, her smile, how she speaks through her eyes, the sweetness and yet intelligence she can project, her soft voice.
She always strikes me as much more "European" than most American actresses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRVqKulkCPc
She was raised in England by an Italian father and an English mother. Both my son and I fell in love with her in Meet Joe Black. I think you nailed her characteristics but I prefer not to analyze her :bigsmile:.Quote:

She and her parents moved to San Fransisco in 1993 to avail her of better acting opportunities.Quote:

Oh, dear, I wish I hadn't looked her up now. She was always thin, but now she's emaciated, almost skeletal; it makes her look a decade older than her actual age. Poor woman; whatever is causing it can't be good.Quote:

This is going to be a happy year for us. Both of my kids are getting married this year. My son at the end of May and the other in the beginning of September. Both of them have chosen well. We really like our future son daughter in law and son in law.Quote:

I think she also has the kind of look that can appeal to women as well as men.
I don't think she's a fabulous actress, but I think she did a good job in Malena, and despite having aged, she was still so very beautiful and so fragile and vulnerable. Such a sad movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbntSx7F-cY
Monica Bellucci hands down today and over the last 20 years.
For 60's classic era, Claudia Cardinale was always my favorite. My Grandfather (and Grandmother, paternal) and Father introduced me to Westerns very early. As I young kid in early 70's, when I first watched Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West, I was totally infatuated with Claudia Cardinale. The only other 70's star for me that totally captured my imagination was Raquel Welch, who had despite her last name a Southern European vibe (Father, Bolivian of Spanish descent) more so than her Mothers English ancestry
Not my type, but I do like it when a woman has that type or similar philtrum. I wonder what my instinct is picking up in that particular trait.Quote:

The eyes are different; my husband's are topaz colored with long, thick lashes.
He can look goofy in some of his pictures. The still image doesn't always do him justice, unlike my dratted husband, who's never taken a bad picture. :)
These two are good.

Just watched the only film, I think, which Marlon Brando ever directed. I liked it a lot; don't know why it's not more well known.
He's absolutely gorgeous in it; what a face.
https://i.imgur.com/Cvh0QNI.png
He has a very odd profile, however; strange head shape, very beaky nose almost like a parrot's.

Another one who got very lucky in the genetics lottery: Turkish actor Akin Akinozu, who also studied Mathematics at Berkely. Life is just not fair. :)

I just love this guy (and his wife). Started following them because of their youtube station chronicling their trips by van over half of the world it seems. Only then did I see his ads and his stint on Dancing in Italy.
The poor thing has had three strokes, and although they think it's from a tear in the lining of his spine and they think they can fix it, he, she, and their gorgeous infant daughter have really been suffering. In the last video today he broke down for a few seconds, and so did I. I think: what if it were my son? I hope all will be well.
Anyway, he's from Torino (the family name seems to be from the Lombard speaking area of Piemonte, but I'm not sure). I think he's just gorgeous; more so now that he has cut the hair. I wish he'd trim the beard a bit. A lot of this is projection; he looks a lot like my son, who also has a mane of hair he puts up in a bun for work, and a big beard, although more reddish.

Finished watching the Bastards of Pizzofalcone and I found this actress to be absolutely stunning. Photos don't do her justice; much more beautiful on "film".
Simona Tabasco, Neapolitan.

Lovely, natural smile and sweet expression in the eyes, I think.

There's another attractive Neapolitan actress in the show, although not as beautiful as this (The whole cast, in fact,apart from Alessandro Gassman, whom I found as wooden as ever, and a Roman actress is Neapolitan, which means they "sound" right, and it makes the show more realistic and enjoyable.)
Maria Vera Ratti:

Less fake and more attractive, imo, in the series.

Gina Lollobrigida, dead at 95.
Most beautiful, to me, without all the heavy make-up and extreme outfits, but still, always beautiful, and a woman for whom in a lot of roles, the word "sultry" might have been invented.
