Veronica Lario, byname of Miriam Raffaella Bartolini (born July 19, 1956) is an Italian former actress, currently the wife of Italian ex-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Biography

Born in Bologna, she was an actress of low budget films. In a famous scene in the 1982 film Tenebrae, directed by Dario Argento, she sits at a table by a window with a gun because she knows a killer is chasing her. An axe crashes through the window and chops her hand off. The blood spraying from her arm paints a wall before she is finished off by the killer.

Married on December 15 1990, Berlusconi and Lario have three children: Barbara (1984)At this time Silvio Berlusconi was still married to Carla Elvira Lucia Dall'Oglio, from whom he will divorce in 1985., Eleonora (1986) and Luigi (1988).

When she was the Italian first lady, Veronica Lario chose to maintain a low public profile. She avoided most public events and meetings and she seldom accompanied her husband Silvio Berlusconi at official meetings. On the other hand she has been well known to have publicly expressed political opinions in contrast with those of her husband, for example on bioethics.

On the other hand, her husband has never been shy of mentioning her on public occasions, and he alluded at least once to a supposed affair between her and opposition politician Massimo CacciariWhile the supposed affair was only mentioned in gossip tabloids, on October 2002, during a press conference with Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Silvio Berlusconi said he ought to introduce his wife to Rasmussen, the best looking prime minister in Europe and certainly more handsome than Cacciari.
