As one of the most famous Italian Americans in the world, Madonna returns to her roots in a new set of stunning black and white shots themed very much in "Old World Italy". The various vignettes depict the pop star in various traditional Italian family settings.

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.

Madonna has graced various campaigns by Dolce & Gabbana since then.
