Silvio Berlusconi 'sex tapes' released
A day after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, sought to make 
light of allegations about his encounters with a prostitute, sensational new 
audio tapes and transcripts were released today purportedly recorded while 
they were having sex.
In the third series of tapes and transcripts to be published by the 
left-leaning weekly L'Espresso this week, the escort Patrizia D'Addario is 
recorded apparently telling Mr Berlusconi that it is several months since 
she had sex and that a younger man would have already had an orgasm "by 
now".
Mr Berlusconi is then recorded purportedly telling Ms D'Addario that "you 
should have sex with yourself, you should touch yourself often".
The date of the alleged encounter is not included with the audiotape 
released on the magazine's website but Ms D'Addario was allegedly hired by 
the businessman Gianpaolo Tarantini to go to the prime minister's official 
residence in Rome, Palazzo Grazioli, in October and November last year.

The transcript included this exchange:
PD A young man would have come in a second.. I mean he would have come... 
Young men usually have a lot of pressure.
SB But if you will you allow me... (muffled) I believe it is a family thing.
PD What?
SB Having an orgasm.
PD You know how long it has been since I had sex this way like with you 
tonight. It's several months, since I broke with my boyfriend. Is this 
normal?
SB May I? You should have sex with yourself. You should touch yourself 
often.
In another tape released by L'Espresso today, the Prime Minister is 
allegedly recorded showing Ms D'Addario around his luxurious Sardinian 
holiday home, Villa Certosa, where he has been known to invite attractive 
young women for parties.
On an apparent tour of the vast 120-hectare property that was claimed to 
have taken place on October 5 2008, Mr Berlusconi is recorded showing Ms D'Addario 
the place where the gelato ice cream is made and the lake, a feature with 
swans and a fossilised whale. He tells her that 30 ancient Phonecian tombs 
were also found there.
In previous series of tapes and transcripts published by L'Espresso on 
Tuesday the escort is recorded discussing her appointment with Mr Berlusconi 
in October with Mr Tarantini.
Mr Tarantini, who is being investigated by Bari prosecutors for allegations 
of corruption and abetting prostitution, told Ms D'Addario that Mr 
Berlusconi would not be "taking you like an escort, he will be taking you as 
a friend of mine that I brought along". Mr Tarantini also warned Ms D'Addario 
that the 72-year-old Italian leader does not use condoms.
Mr Berlusconi's office declined to comment on the latest tapes today.
The Espresso Media Group which also owns the daily La Repubblica announced 
yesterday that it was taking legal action against Mr Berlusconi - accusing 
him of abusing his office and flouting market rules for seeking too much 
control over the media. Last night Mr Berlusconi's lawyers said that they 
might counter-sue over the publication of Ms D'Addario's recording.
Mr Berlusconi has not denied that the woman went to his Rome residence but 
in June he said that he did not know she was an escort.
But in one of the tapes released on Monday, allegedly recorded on 5 
November, the day after D'Addario spent the night with Mr Berlusconi at 
Palazzo Grazioli, the escort is heard to complain to Tarantini, that there 
was no paycheck.
Ms D'Addario, 42, has given the tapes to magistrates investigating Mr 
Tarantini in relation to allegations of corruption and abetting prostitution 
in the southern city of Bari. 

L'Espresso this week, ...
Uaoh, un'altro rimbalzo di un giornalino italiano.
Poi dicono che gli stranieri non leggono i giornalini di gossip 
italiani! :D
