Francesca Pascale has had such a full life so far that it doesn’t seem possible that she is only (almost) 37 years old. Her story is inextricably linked to Italian political news and from there you have to start. In fact, from 2011 to the first months of 2020 was the partner of Silvio Berlusconi. They officially got engaged at Christmas 2011, when the former premier gave her a ring. They had known each other for some time because in 2004 she was one of the founders of the group “Silvio we miss you“, Composed of young people who followed Berlusconi in every public demonstration:” It was a black period: we lost all the electionsHe said to Corriere del Mezzogiorno.
He was always in the front row: “I followed him like he was a rock star. I met him in Rome, during a lunch with the MEPs. Antonio Tajani and his cousin introduced him to me. I arrived with the T-shirt that said: ” Silvio we miss you ”. And he: ”Ah, I finally know you” ».
It seems that it was her father Rosario, a professional photographer, who passed her admiration for Berlusconi: “Once he came home from Milan and told us about Milan 2 and Milan 3 and about this extraordinary entrepreneur“. Even her mother, who died years ago, appreciated her commitment in politics and always recommended: “Say hello to the president”.
He was never afraid to expose himself: fourteen, in the summer he enjoyed appearing in trash comic broadcast Telecafone broadcast on Telecapri. She was a student at the “Palizzi” art institute in Naples (“a school with a prevalent Communist presence”) she had been elected school representative. At the same time he was participating in beauty contests, where he claims to have suffered injustices: «At 17. At the Miss Grand Prix final: I had to win that contest. ” But no: «The regional and national producers agreed to let another girl win. I got angry. I reported the organizer. I also went on TV, as a guest of Alda D’Eusanio, to make the case break out ».
After meeting with Berlusconi, she was a collaborator of the press office of the ministry for cultural heritage and then provincial councilor in Naples for the PDL. In 2011 she published her first release of her: at the stadium to see the Inter-Milan derby, with her being one die hard supporter of Napoli. The gossip was first confirmed by Daniela Santanchè on the microphones of the radio broadcast The mosquito: «Francesca Pascale? Berlusconi says she is his girlfriend, for me it is a beautiful thing ». TO Sunday Liveinterviewed by Barbara D’Urso, the former president confirmed: «I got engaged to a Neapolitan, there is a gap of 49 years between her and me. I finally feel less alone“.
In Berlusconi’s life Francesca Pascale immediately brought some news, for example i poodles Dudù and Dudina. He also influenced him in politics, especially as regards the rights of same-sex couples. She remained famous a dinner at Villa San Martino with Vladimir Luxuria, who in the past had been elected deputy on the Communist Refoundation lists and therefore had been in all respects one of his political adversaries. In Arcore, Francesca Pascale said, she had also had to bring order: «I had to intervene. They paid for green beans 80 euros per kilo. Do you think it possible? ». For him she gave up some of his passions, for example the motorbike: «I bought one Harley Davidson, but I can’t even take it to Arcore ». Always by her side: “I chase it, I siege it, I control it, I never leave it”. However, such dedication did not result in a marriage, nor did it prevent Berlusconi from falling in love with another, that is Marta Fascina. So in March 2020 the rupture through a press release from Forza Italia: “A relationship of affection and true deep friendship continues to exist between the president and the lady, but there is no romantic or couple relationship between them.”
The friend Luxuria remembers the suffering after the end of the engagement: «She discovered that she was planted. She had already noticed but Berlusconi at the beginning denied, denied, misled. Then the first stolen photos came out. When they broke up, Francesca suffered a lot, she was angry, disappointed. Everyone always thought she was with him for money, but she really loved him and she didn’t care about her age difference. Therefore she felt betrayed“. A not too long suffering, because a few months later, in July, some stolen shots showed the kiss of Francesca Pascale with Paola Turciaboard a yacht: the first trace of a love that still lasts today.
