Silvio Berlusconi and the would-be First Lady

Tuesday, 25 December 2012. As Silvio Berlusconi reaches a settlement with his previous wife, the alleged new fiancée Francesca Pascale is being raised to become the official partner of the Knight, starting with the official photos.

Official pictures of the would-be First Lady

25 December 2012, Christmas day, was the day of the final settlement of the legal separation between Veronica Lario and Silvio Berlusconi (even though he will try and recover a part of the 36m euro a bunch of "feminist and communist" judges sentenced him to pay), and the day of the first official photo shoot of the apparent heir of Mrs Lario, Miss Francesca Pascale, at the villa of the former prime minister and billionaire in Arcore, near Milan.

Four of the photos were published by Italian news agency ANSA, in order to let the public know how the young Francesca is taking seriously the new role, (apparently) hoping to fully take over Mr Berlusconi's former wife place and fully join the family as soon as possible...

The engagement with 27-year-old Francesca Pascale was announced by Silvio last December, on his own TV network's Canale 5's Sunday afternoon Domenica Live, on 16 December 2012. The event has been promptly added to Silvio's page on Wikipedia.

Francesca Pascale - who is barely older than Silvio's younger daughter, Eleonora Bartolini (not Berlusconi), who gave birth to his father's seventh grandson a few days ago – has reportedly attended to bon ton courses, underwent minor plastic surgery and was obliged to shut her Facebook and Twitter profiles and change her phone number, in order to start a new life as a First Lady.

New-look Franceschina

She has to abandon the role of Franceschina (little Francesca), as she was called when she was a teenager and used to dance in skimpy clothes and sing suggestive songs for local TV broadcaster Telecapri, in south Italy's Campania region.

Accordingly to reports, Francesca has a very good relationship with several other women of Silvio's entourage: Nicole Minetti said “she is the right person”, Marina Berlusconi “adores her” and Mariarosa Rossi – her official 24/7 nanny – seems to like her quite a lot.

The only one who is not happy is Montenegrin model Katarina Knezevic, who keeps saying that she is the real sweetheart of Silvio, and Francesca is just a presentable escort, helping the former prime minister to gain support among Italian voters...
