I guess I'd have to find out whether the photos showed Berlusconi as well as Letizia (nice onomatopaia name) before I could, uh, render a verdict... ;')

How do you say “Trailer Trash” in Italian?

Sounds a lot like “Noemi Letizia” to me.

He’s 72, she’s 18?

Who does he think he is - Tony Randall?

A lot of you are jumping to conclusions, I think

Smiling as she left her modest flat near Naples, Noemi Letizia, the 18-year-old accused of being at the heart of Silvio Berlusconi’s divorce, appeared distinctly bemused.

I think it’s the topless photos of himself that he’s worried about. Looks like he has some pretty major boobage going on under there.

Apparently he was enticed when he saw photos of her at age fifteen in her underwear, and has known her at least since she was 17. Ew ew ew ew ew.
