Madonna goes back to her Italian roots in new advert

Living la dolce vita: Madonna goes back to her Italian roots in new advert. She is one of the most famous Italian Americans in the world.

And now, Madonna is going back to her roots with a new set of stunning black and white shots for a new Dolce and Gabbana advertising campaign.

One new photo sees the star in the unlikely guise of farm girl as she holds chickens alongside a male model, whilst showing off her curves in a low cut dress and cardigan.

Another shot shows the star looking glam in jacket, corset and patterned black tights alongside an Italian mother figure who is clad in apron and headscarf.

Madonna, looking much younger than her 51 years, is also seen lying on a bed holding a baby, and laughing alongside a big Italian family, not unlike her own in real life.

Her dad, Silvio Anthony Ciccone, is a first generation Italian/American and she is the third of six children.

The shots form part of the campaign for the Italian designer duo's autumn/winter collection.

Earlier this year, Madonna also appeared in a series of sexy housewife poses for the fashion house's spring summer campaign which showed her hanging up laundry and sweeping the kitchen.

The singer struck up a friendship with the Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana while she was filming Dick Tracy in the early Nineties and they were invited to design her costumes for The Girlie Show tour in 1993.
