Italy continues to shine as the WAG capital of the world

It seems that certain Italian television shows are a hotbed of WAG activity. Variety show Striscia la Notizia (‘Strip the News’) has given the world Elena Barolo, Melissa Satta and Giorgia Palmas, while Carabinieri (which seems to be the Italian version of The Bill) gave us the stupendously good looking Martina Colombari. Today’s WAG, Elisabetta Canalis is held in particularly high esteem, as she has had the honour of starring in both shows.

She has been romantically linked with Christian Vieri (who has also steamrollered Satta and Elena Santarelli), Didier Drogba and most recently Parma’s Brazilian striker Reginaldo.

Italy continues to supply the best WAGs on the planet

Today’s WAG of the Day is another graduate of crazy Italian television show Striscia la notizia (‘Strip the News’) - a programme which has also blessed us with footballer eye candy including Melissa Satta and my favorutie WAG of the Day, Giorgia Palmas. Twenty-five-year-old Italian Elena Barola has stepped out with Filippo Inzaghi (who also imposed huge bank balance and status wonderful personality on Aída Yéspica) and more recently, she has been seen on the arm of Torino striker Roberto Stellone.

Christian Vieri’s Ex is responsible for lightening Sven’s squad

In 2006/07, striker Bernardo Corradi mustered only three goals for Manchester City, so it’s no surprise that Sven put him on a plane back to Italy earlier this season. It turns out that Corradi had been pushing for a move back to his home nation for some time, as he wished to be closer to his girlfriend Elena Santarelli. Looking at the way she scrubs up, it’s hard to blame him…

Desk dancer, karate champ and lover of Bobo

The WAG of the Day archive is brimming with Italian talent, a fine example being yesterday’s afternoon delight Giorgia Palmas. Mrs Davide Bombardini was a ‘Veline’ or ‘desk dancer’ on hit Italian show Striscia la notizia (‘Strip the News’), who passed the flirtatious mantle onto Melissa Satta, the current beau of Christian Vieri. (Thanks to Spoiler fan Luther Blissett Project for bringing her to my attention, and for alluding to a group of obscure radical activists.)
