Francesca Pascale Opens Up: From Berlusconi to Marriage with Paola Turci

Francesca Pascale speaks for the first time in an interview with Belve and holds nothing back: from her relationship with Berlusconi to her marriage with Paola Turci, Silvio's former partner tells all. When Fagnani asks Pascale about the first photos of her paparazzied on a boat with Paola Turci, at the end of her relationship with Berlusconi, Pascale releases a very heavy statement: 'Those photos were taken by a person from Forza Italia close to the sovereigntist area, who has always particularly hated me.' When Fagnani presses: 'Was there a scheme? But was it a photographer or a politician?', then Pascale declares: 'They were sent by a person very close to Matteo Salvini who wanted to give the whole Forza Italia package to Salvini. I could hardly bear this. There was a very specific design to make me a problem to be solved and so they followed me and broke the rules of morality to hurt me.' Fagnani concludes by asking 'from those photos did you feel only violated, or also liberated', the answer is heartbreaking: 'I felt violated.' On the love with Berlusconi, Fagnani reminds Pascale of a statement she made: 'You said that you asked Berlusconi to marry you every day...' Pascale replies throwing a jab at Marta Fascina: 'No, not at all, I never felt the desire to get married, also because maybe he would marry me and it would be fake and frankly rather than fake, better nothing.' At that point, Fagnani reminds her that she had declared that 'if she had been invited, she would have gone smoking a joint', and Pascale laughing, admits: 'Yes, I would have liked to smoke a joint.' Then she takes the last stab: 'Berlusconi was lucid, he never did such nonsense with me.' The accounts of Pascale also touch more intimate chords with the portrait of an unloving and violent father. When Fagnani asks her if hers was 'a happier or more unhappy childhood', Pascale explains: 'Happy, even though like all little girls I was also in love with my father, but that trust that a little girl has towards her own daddy was deceived, betrayed, mortified by his violent and unloving way of treating us.' At that point Fagnani insists 'are you talking to me about violence?' and Pascale confesses: 'There were violent attitudes, but I prefer to keep it to myself.' And finally to the journalist's question: 'Just tell me, how is your relationship with your father today?,' Pascale admits: 'it does not exist.'
