The Berlusconi family has sold Villa Due Palme, the luxurious residence that the Knight - then Prime Minister - bought in 2011 in Lampedusa. The private negotiation was concluded in recent weeks. The property was bought by economist Gianni Profita, 63 years old, born in Acquaviva Platani, rector of the Saint Camillus international university of health and medical sciences (UniCamillus) in Rome.

Villa Certosa for sale, Berlusconi's children split the 126-room residence in Sardinia: the price and possible buyers

Lampedusa, Berlusconi's Villa Due Palme sold

According to unconfirmed rumors circulating in Lampedusa, the expert in multimedia and audiovisual industry management would have paid about 3 million euros for the villa. Berlusconi had bought it for one and a half million euros. Villa Due Palme - 250 square meters, 8 beds and a large garden - was part of the immense real estate heritage left to the heirs by the Knight. The Mediterranean-style building dates back to the '70s and has a private beach.

Berlusconi, in reality, hardly ever used this residence. The purchase took place during one of the peaks of the migration crisis, almost as if to send a signal. However, the Cav always preferred Sardinia for his summer holidays, except for a fleeting appearance in 2019. Berlusconi's heirs have long been engaged in lightening the immense real estate heritage left by the former prime minister: it is news of a few days ago that even Villa Certosa in Costa Smeralda has been put up for sale.
