She had an affair with him for years while he was still married to his first wife - what goes around..

Bad karma.... I haven't been able to find much information about B's first wife.

Thanks for posting the article alan.h. I imagine that Berlusconi is far too afraid of his second wife (and what she knows), to ever divorce her, unless she chooses to divorce him. The photos of his first wife Gala, show a small dumpy women with a sweet smile.

Like Italy, she maybe thought he would be better next time around.

Going ever so slightly off thread here but have you noticed - for I do, ALL THE TIME - that there are so many "older" guys in this country, hanging around with so much younger women? The Berlusconis are not a good example as she's more in his general ball park age ('scuse the possible pun) than the examples I'm thinking of but there are so many examples, everywhere. Just today my husband (mid 50s) said (of a man his age with arm wrapped around girl clearly in her early 30s), "that must be his daughter" when it quite clearly wasn't. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Well, perhaps she didn't want to hung onto hubby. And I would not blame her.

I don't think that anyone could control that guy.... I think he already had 2 or 3 children with 2nd Mrs B. by the time he divorced 1st Mrs B and married the 2nd. Hopeless case. I think that the 1st Mrs B was the clever one. Possibly this is the reason why she has that "sweet smile".....
