Russell Crowe had some divine company the night before meeting Pope Francis in Rome, hitting the town with a stunning Italian actress.

The “Noah” star was seen at Antica Pesa restaurant with a group that included breathtaking brunette Daniela Virgilio and Paramount exec Rob Moore.

They stayed “until the wee hours,” a spy said, “eating pasta and Russell was snapping pictures.”

The source added, “Russell feels at home in Rome . . . ever since ‘Gladiator,’ he’s been so popular here.”
