This page is about the members of Silvio Berlusconi's family of the past and present. Former wives Carla Elvira Dall'Oglio and Veronica Lario, children Marina Berlusconi, Pier Silvio Berlusconi, Barbara Berlusconi, Eleonora Bartolini and Luigi Berlusconi, and much, much more. The future? Quite difficult to predict, knowing good ol' Silvio: women come, and women go...

They decided to separate in 2010, but the judgement of "non-consensual separation" was filed in 2012, on Christmas day.
Silvio Berlusconi accepted to pay a 3.0 million euro monthly alimony (actually in 2013 he appealed against the sentence...) and allowed her to live in their luxury home in Milan. According to the judges' decision, the former prime minister will keep Villa Macherio (worth 78m euro), where Veronica and her children Luigi and Eleonora used to live. Appearing in an interview on La7 TV channel on 8 January 2013 Silvio would state that the "ridiculous settlement" was a scandal, decided by three "feminist and communist" she-judges.

He was married twice (with Mariella Bocciardo and Antonia Rosa Costanzo), dovorced twice, and had a few models and showgirls as girlfriends, like Katia Noventa, Natalia Estrada, Carolina Marconi, Dani Samvis, etc etc.
Though Paolo is not as good has his brother Silvio in creating often quoted remarks and quips, from time to time he will try and be funny, like when he dubbed Mario Balotelli as the "little negro of the family" (click here to see the video).
