ROME, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Two women at the center of scandals in the life of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi are depicted in new wooden figurines.
Craftsmen in Naples have carved the likenesses of call girl Patrizia D'Addario, who allegedly had sex with Berlusconi, and Noemi Letizia, 18, who reportedly calls the prime minister "Papi," or Daddy, The Daily Telegraph said Wednesday.
The figurine of D'Addario, 42, portrays her in a short dress with a revealing neckline and a pair of knee-length boots. The statue of Letizia shows the lingerie model in a blue miniskirt and white top.
The craftsmen make the figurines as part of their festive tradition of creating small wooden statues of individuals who drew public attention during the previous year.
The Daily Telegraph said previous statues made by the Naples workers include likenesses of Berlusconi's wife, Veronica Lario, and U.S. actor George Clooney, who is dating an Italian actress.
