Silvio Berlusconis private life is again in the spotlight after audiotapes of the Italian Prime Ministers alleged encounter with an escort girl at his Rome residence were posted on the internet.
The Italian daily La Repubblica and its sister weekly,LEspresso,published bits and bobs of the alleged bedroom conversation between Berlusconi and Patrizia DAddario,the woman whom his aides describe as a prostitute,reports The Times.
DAddario claims to have made the recordings during two visits that she made to Palazzo Grazioli,Berlusconis Rome residence.
The tapes have been presented as evidence to back her claims.
In one,Berlusconi apparently tells DAddario to wait for him on the four-poster Putin bed said to have been a gift from Vladimir Putin,the Russian Prime Minister while they each take a shower.
Berlusconi is heard to say: I will take a shower as well . . . and then wait for me on the big bed if you finish first? DAddario replies: Which bed . . . that Putin one?
Berlusconi: The Putin one.
DAddario: Oh how sweet,the one with the curtains.
The 72-year-old business tycoon has not denied that the woman went to his residence but has said that he did not know she was an escort.
