the last couple

Martha fascinates. In 2022, he celebrated a symbolic wedding with his last partner Marta Fascina, a politician from Berlusconi’s party and 54 years younger than him. “The relationship of love, respect and esteem that binds me to Mrs. Marta Fascina is so deep and solid that there is no need to formalize it with marriage,” explained Berlusconi at the time.
