One thing's for certain: If you want to capture Berlusconi's eye, and make it as a PYT (Pretty Young Thing, or Politician Youth Today, take your pick), you better dye that Italian mane of yours blonde. In fact, one look at Italy, and you'll find that the Italian dark Signora (I'm thinking Anna Magnani, Gina Lollibrigida, heck even Sofia Loren) no longer exists. What's funny in Italy -- a country that should look a lot like say, Japan, in terms of hair hues -- is that the country is in fact, quite blonde. The Italians will be quick to inform you it's the influx of the Vikings who once ruled Sicily...I say it has a bit more to do with the conquering of Italy's populace by the French: L'Oreal, that is.
Look a bit closer and you'll see that only half the population is platinum blonde on the level of Paris Hilton...the women. Just as a key to becoming the Apple of Berlusca's eye, or, an up and coming politician...here's what your portfolio might look like: It's his second wife, "Veronica" (name changed to protect the boring and nondescript), Patrizia & Noemi...

I guess most Italian natural blonds you'd expect to find north of Firenze.
We know that at least several of El Duce's girlfriends are from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies with heavy Aaarab influence. Not too many Crusaders stayed there mainly en passant. The blonds were mainly bred out.
What about his female Ministers are they bottle blonds?
My girl friend of over 50 years ago was a gorgeous tall black haired beauty.
Hair clour is not a sign of fun but sometimes of dumb.

With all the latest scandal about Il Duce, he the government and by association Italy are the laughing stock of the world.
What's to be done? Another real Il Duce? Split Italy back up into Kingdoms? Tear up the Concordat and re-establish the Papal States? What?
