The cause of Italy’s latest political sh*tstorm

AC Milan owner and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is having a tough time at the moment. His wife Veronica Lario is in the process of divorcing him, accusing him of being “a man who frequents minors”. The comment is thought to be a reference to Noemi Letizi, an aspiring model whose eighteenth birthday was attended by the old ladies’ man.

In an interview with Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Noemi addressed the 72-year-old as “daddy”, and admitted her joy at receiving a gold necklace from him as a birthday gift. And yes, we checked and it was definitely a “gold” necklace.

Just when you thought youd seen every hot Italian WAG…

In Italy during the 1990s, showgirl, actress and nude model Valeria Marini was an even bigger deal than pizza and political corruption. Combined.

The immensely popular blonde, nicknamed “Valeriona nazionale”, could probably be compared to Jordan (although Valeria is almost certainly less annoying). Much like her UK equivalent, she has also caught the attention of a few footballers - her greatest conquest to date is Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero.

Gorgeous Italian showgirl in footballer romance shocker

Ex-Livorno, Inter Milan and Torino defender Fabio Galanti has a proud tradition of talking attractive models into sleeping with him - the aforementioned Samantha De Grenet and Claudia Galanti serve as excellent examples. Another of his conquests is Laura Freddi, who along with just about every other Italian WAG on his list, is a sexy alumnus ofvaguely pornographic Italian TV shows Striscia la Notizia (’The News Strip‘) and Buona Domenica (’Good Friday‘).

Another member of Italy’s complex network of hot WAGs

Up until a few months ago, Paraguayan model and “showgirl” Claudio Galanti was happily married to Italian entrepreneur Stefano Ricucci (whose ex-wife is the very lovely Anna Falchi). Rumours have been circulating in the Italian press, however, that the high profile couple have broken up - he has been spotted spotted squiring another lady about town, and Claudia has reportedly found love with Livorno defender Fabio Galante (who used to romance Samantha De Grenet).
