10 Best sex Scandals in Italy

Every nation and every era has its own sex scandals and Italy in its glorious history, certainly had also its share of scandals. Since the Roman's times, Italians have tried to hide what happened in the secrecy of their bedrooms, but some events were simply too much to hide, or weren't hid to begin with.

Talking about sex and the Italians isn't a cheap way to intercept voyeuristic intentions, but is a way to understand how italian society has evolved as a whole. What was forbidden in the bast very nearly became commonplace behaviour just a few years later.

Understanding all this will allow you to understand what is happening in these days among the ruling class in Italy.

Let's look at some of the most spoken ones that created interest in the public.

1) Cicciolina:

Italian sex news: Cicciolina in 2009 ( cicciolina is 58 in this image )

Ilona Staller, alias Cicciolina is one of the most recognized name in the porno industry, a Hungarian native that found success and money becoming a porno diva in Italy, she starred in 38 adult movies. Besides being "appreciated" for her "revealing talent" and "biological actions", Staller made the world news for entering the Italian Parliament as a congresswoman, a first ever case. Cicciolina was indeed presented by Marco Pannella and his Radical Party to the political elections, and after a very "colorful" campaign, she was elected. Ironically, it made the news more internationally than in Italy itself. What it is amazing about this story is that Ilona was elected during an era where Internet and reality shows did not exist and porno and X-rated material were not exactly "politically" correct.

2) Vladimir Luxuria:

Vladimir Luxuria is another case of a "special" entry in the Italian Parliament, where Italy once again was the first to elect a transgender. This time, the new Communist Party gave her/him this opportunity. Luxuria, who is in show business, is still legally and biologically a man, but clearly living as a woman. A person of high sensitivity and intelligence, Vladimir with her election was able to open the eyes of many Italians and created awareness on those than less luckily live Luxuria's sexual journey.

3) Pietro Marrazzo:

This is a true scandal, with little room to escape. An episode that lead to a dramatic outcome and even several deaths. Marrazzo, then governor of Lazio (the region of Rome), was caught on camera in a bedroom with a transvestite. But that was not all, the transgender was an illegal alien and Marazzo was used to go to his home apparently on a weekly base for sex and to buy cocaine. Marrazzo a married man and a father, ended up resigning and retiring to a private life. As the scandal exploded, a couple of transvestite related to the incident died revealing a much darker scenario than a simple affair. In all that nonsense, great respect and honor to Marrazzo's wife, whose conduct and behavior has been impeccable all along.

4) Silvio Berlusconi:

For political fairness, we must mention the lifestyle of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, often indicated as a womanizer that enjoys women. Indeed his second marriage ended after his wife, in a very public statement denounced Since Berlusconi's lifestyle, saying that his husband was "ill" and "in need of help". Sice the marriage ended, many women claimed to be part of a non well-defined harem and in three instances, the rumors became front-page news. So far no concrete proof was exhibited, but the news went on forever and it recentely resurfaced after a new case involving an underaged girl. The big issues here in regards of some of the escorts is to understand who paid them to enter Berlusconi's house, wired with recording devices. An unusual way to entertain a night of sex.

5) Lapo Elkan:

Thank God, Lapo survived probably his most difficult experience of his life. After an overdose of drugs in a house of a transgender friend, Lapo was rushed to the hospital near death. A long recovery period in the Unites Sates, allowed Elkan to fully get back on his feet. His social image, slightly damaged at first, was also fully recovered. Lot's of fear... don't do it again Lapo!!!

6) Cosimo Mele:

A Catholic congressman of very conservative views, Cosimo Mele was caught cheating on his wife and family with a prostitute, maybe even two, as one of them almost died of cocaine overdose. A very sad episode in Italian politics, not too much for the sex, but for the drug abuse and the fact that a young lady could have been killed. Often, we spend time in thinking about the sexual implications and fail to see the bigger problem.

7) Melissa P.:

A young, a very young woman and a very talented writer. Melissa claims to have had sex with several male partners at the same time, and he wrote one of the most successful novel of recent years based on that experience. Melissa's personal life and literature work made front page and led her to notoriety and some wealth. Many accuse her of being a terrible example of her generation, but she answers with brilliant writing and intelligent TV appearances. Sex experimenting and morality are not necessarily opposite.

8) The "Vallettopoli" Scandal:

A still very unclear scandal was the one related to a group of girls where television jobs were found in exchange of sexual favors. Many politicians were involved, included Silvio Berlusconi who, in his position as Prime Minister, pressured the Italian public broadcasting company to engage some of these showgirls. Although rapidly forgotten by the media, it was never revealed the actual level of involvement of the many important names mentioned; no one has faced prison or trials, to the extent that the media built the case.

9) Lele Mora & Corona:

Two of the kings of the Italian social life, paparazzi and personality managers. Recently Mora confessed to have a had an homosexual relationship with Corona, creating a huge fuzz, considering that Corona, involved in many other scandals on his own, is seen as a sex symbol by a certain female world.

10) Tiziano Ferro:

This last one is not really a scandal, but a beautiful and poetic coming out. Tiziano Ferro, one of Italy's best and most famous singers, recently reveled to be gay. A great story of courage and social awareness, for a man that with his music delights many souls.
