ROME — Less than a week after writing an open letter that criticized her husband for cavorting with much younger women, the second wife of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi says she wants to file for divorce, Italian newspapers reported Sunday.

“I’d like to close the curtain on our married life,” Veronica Lario, 52, said in an interview with La Repubblica that was published Sunday. A secretary for Ms. Lario confirmed the report.

Ms. Lario (52) met Mr. Berlusconi, 72, in 1980, when she was a B-movie actress in Milan and he was a married, up-and-coming real-estate tycoon. They were wed in a civil ceremony in 1990 after having three children.

There's some line about "past performance being an indicator or future performance", but I can't remember the details.

Wow, if that can happen to the most popular man in the world, it could happen to anybody.

I guess this is not a happy Italian first family, right?

Yeah, that sounds familiar too . . . but I don’t think it applies to securities investments :)

Somewhere, Bill Clinton is reading this news thinking “Some guys have all the luck.”

She also was incensed at news reports that Mr. Berlusconi had attended the 18th birthday party in Naples of Noemi Letizia, who has posed for magazines semi-nude and has said in interviews that she calls the prime minister “daddy.”

“That surprised me,” Ms. Lario told ANSA. “Because he never attended the 18th birthday parties of his own children, even if he was invited.”

Sounds like Bill and this guy would be great friends.

The dark haired woman above is not Veronica Lario. She is Aida Yespicasmiles, South American Showgirl, with whom Prime Minister Berlusconi has been conducting secret and critical business vital to the Italian government, economy, and state security.

The Current Italian First Lady is a very lovely 52 year old, but I would say that perhaps it is unfair to hold any woman to this kind of standard.

I hope that she dumps him and takes every dime that he has.
He is a womanizer and egomaniac.
