Berlusconi’s ‘Bunga Bunga girls’ are being evicted from their homes and their monthly allowances have been stopped. The heirs of the former prime minister do not intend to support the approximately twenty young women any longer.
Silvio Berlusconi’s family has had enough: the twenty or so young women who received around 2,500 euros every month and who lived at the expense of the late ex-prime minister, have to start taking care of themselves. All so-called ‘Olgettine’, named after the street in Milan (Via Olgettina) where the apartment complex is located where some of the women live, received a letter last week stating that the party is definitely over as of December 31, 2023. They have to leave their house. The grants have already been stopped.
LOOK. Explained in 90 seconds: who is Silvio Berlusconi?
Maintained for over ten years
The women have been supported by the late Silvio Berlusconi for more than ten years. They were part of the ‘Bunga Bunga parties’ at his villa in Arcore, near Milan. Parties where Berlusconi’s entourage and the ex-prime minister himself always denied that anything improper was happening.

“Elegant dinners”
During the so-called Ruby trials, all twenty women dutifully confirmed to the judge that these were “elegant dinners” and not sex parties.
The trials are named after Ruby Rubacuori, aka Ruby the Heartbreaker. That’s what Karima El Mahroug called herself when she went to Berlusconi’s parties. She was not yet 18 years old on the first night and that is why the former prime minister was charged with sex with a minor. This has never been proven, but Ruby has become a millionaire since the lawsuit and has withdrawn from public life.
According to themselves, the ‘Olgettine’ received the money from Berlusconi because they had ended up in a media storm because of their participation in the parties. The court suspected corruption. But that has never been proven either.
“Enough benefited”
Now Berlusconi’s heirs believe the women have benefited enough from Silvio’s generosity. One of the Olgettines, Barbara Guerra, is angry and has instructed her lawyer to challenge the decision. She comes up with an audio recording from 2015 in which Silvio Berlusconi promises her free usufruct of a villa in Bernareggio, near Milan, for the rest of her life. “I cannot transfer the house to your name, that would be corruption,” the former prime minister explains. “But I swear on my five children that when the trial is over, I will transfer the house to your name.”
With this action, the children of the ex-prime minister and businessman want to put a definitive end to the more embarrassing aspects of Silvio Berlusconi’s life.
