Noemi Letizia, born in Naples, was made famous for receiving a gold necklace, assessed as worth €6,000 from Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at her 18th birthday party held at a luxury villa in her hometown of Naples. As a result of this, Berlusconi's wife, Veronica Lario, confirmed she was filing for divorce. Sources have claimed that this could be the most expensive divorce ever. Her father is a municipal employee in Naples who befriended Berlusconi. According to the Italian blog Sdamy.com, Noemi Letizia owns a cosmetics shop. She is studying design and is in a relationship with 21-year old Domenico Cozzolino. She gave interviews to the press saying that she was a Catholic and a virgin and that she would like to star in the Italian version of Big Brother. Letizia also posed in underwear when she was 15 years old. Letizia's ex-boyfriend claimed in May 2009 that Berlusconi knew her not through her father (who the politician claimed to be Bettino Craxi's driver, but was denied by Craxi's son, Bobo) but because he saw pictures of the youngster. Letizia posed for the pictures in an attempt to break into TV shows or modelling. She sent them to an agency and the Rete 4 editor Emilio Fede had a look at them and then left the pictures after meeting for a meal with Berlusconi. Berlusconi then contacted Letizia personally. He also mentioned that Noemi Letizia spent New Year's Eve at Sardinia at the president's house.
