ADVERTISEMENT The 72-year-old Berlusconi himself refused to comment on the details of the reports but acknowledged that he was going through a "painful" period in his private life after nearly 30 years of marriage. A government source later stressed that Berlusconi had not been asked to react to "a concrete event, such as divorce papers". "Veronica's choice: Farewell Silvio," said the frontpage headline of La Stampa while the rival la Repubblica led with the headline: "I've decided, I want a divorce," with both papers quoting close friends. The two papers both said that Lario had contacted a divorce lawyer and given instructions to proceed towards a separation as quickly as possible. Italian news agency ANSA later echoed the reports. The reports said she had been particularly infuriated by her husband's decision to attend an 18th birthday party in Naples last week for the blonde daughter of one of his business associates even though he never went to any of his own children's coming-of-age parties. "My marriage is over. I can't stay with someone who cavorts with minors," Lario was quoted as saying by one of her friends. "I read in the papers about how he has been hanging around a minor -- because he must have known her before she was 18 -- and how she called him 'Papa' and about their meetings in Rome and Milan. "This is no longer acceptable. How can I stay with such a man," she was quoted as saying in La Stampa. The reports come only three days after Lario wrote an open letter to newspapers saying that her husband's well-known penchant for pretty women was a source of "suffering". "I want it to be clear that I and my children are the victims and not accomplices in this situation. We must put up with it and that makes us suffer," she wrote in a letter splashed across the Italian press. The letter, the second such public outburst from Veronica, dealt mainly with Berlusconi's choice of candidates from his People of Freedom party to stand in European Union elections set for June. Some are reportedly pretty young women with no political experience, including a television actress and a former Miss Italy candidate. Berlusconi had reacted to the letter by saying his wife should not believe the "left-wing press" but he acknowledged on Sunday that his marriage was going through a rocky period. "This is a painful personal episode which should remain private and it does not seem to me to be right to be talking about it," he told the Italian media. Opposition reaction was swift and blunt. Said Mario Adinolfi, a member of the main opposition Democratic Party's ruling council: "Let's leave the hypocrisy behind and say it clearly: Berlusconi's divorce is a political issue and an opportunity for the PD. "The person who knows him best says 'he's not right' or 'he is cavorting with minors'. "Can you imagine (US President Barack) Obama hit with such a blow by Michelle, or (French counterpart Nicolas) Sarkozy suffering in the same way from Carla Bruni, without any public and political debate?" The couple married in 1980 and have three children, all in their 20s. The 52-year-old Lario is a former stage actress who is 20 years Berlusconi's junior and his second wife. The pair, who are rarely seen in public together, have long had a tempestuous relationship. In January 2007, Berlusconi issued a public apology to Lario after she learned through the press of his verbal dalliance with a pretty young lawmaker. "Please forgive me, and take this public testimony... as an act of love, one among many," he said after Lario wrote an open letter to the daily La Repubblica demanding he show contrition.
