Nothing if not tacky and predictable is Mr Punch.
While Burlesconi is beneath contempt, I'm finding young Ms Lucrezia Letizia at least as disturbing.
Corruptioni, though... Now, I usually pride myself in being fairly open-minded when it comes to other people's romantic entanglements, but that man is - to use an American expression - one sick puppy.

Besides, and at the risk of indulging in armchair psychology here, he probably wants the control that comes with finding somebody who's emotionally vulnerable and/or needs his patronage.
Yeah, but would they share a dinner table - nevermind a bed - with a creep like Corruptioni?
At least 30 or 40 would, apparently.
haha, you jest forsooth....more like millions!

Interesting farrago in the Berlusconi gossip weekly,Chi, (as well as Oggi, Novella 2000, &c) in which Noemi declares her two-year love affair with a certain Domenico Cozzolino, a brief role as a seducer in a popular TV program called Men and Women.
Noemi declares, "I gave Domenico my first kiss, and I hope that I'll do it the first time with him. Virginity is an important value. I very much believe in God and I'm a practicing Catholic."
Domenico, of course, hopes to participate in a reality show together with his life-long flame and hopes they will go to live together in Rome next fall where he will attend an actors' studio.
It's going to be fun keeping track of this forged reality.

ow, ow, you're keeeling me! ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
In B's case, I guess the scale of his lies (and the cheapness and transparency of them all) is what's special. That, and the likely financial magnitude of his divorce. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Of course, that also means that unless La Repubblica helps him all the way, the poor boy could be eaten up by B's media and lawyer dogs now. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Today the father, Elio, has proposed a new version. His wife, daughter and himself met Berlusconi in 2001 in Rome. I imagine they'll have to start producing witnesses- a fairly easy thing to do within a personal political entity of that nature.
Gino has replied that he finds the whole thing very strange: he asserts there are hundreds of people that know every detail of the story of his relation with Noemi.

Gino Flaminio's words seem genuine, backed up by the photos, by the recollections of their friends (who have pictures of Noemi and Gino on their computer), by a few letters, by the memories of neighbors and his parents, but above all by the obstinacy with which the young man hid himself away for weeks, becoming an invisible presence in Noemi's life.La Repubblica tracked him down with - difficulty, much patience and a lot of luck - in the factory on Corso San Giovanni where all his fellow workmen knew Noemi and the story of Gino's lost love. Fellow workmen who - to the very end - tried to protect him. "Gino? Who is this Gino Flaminio?" while Gino hid behind a wall.
Good. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
