MARA CARFAGNA
“Mara La Bella” (the beauty of the Mara) — so the Italians call a striking brunette, whose hall of Parliament as familiar as the catwalk of the beauty pageant. At 22, she competed for the title of “Miss Italy” and took only sixth place, but years later were recognized as fellow “sexiest Minister in the world.” “Competition affects you as a woman, you start early to grow up… the stress and desire to win it makes you realize who you really are” — later recalled Carfagna.

To the government it fell thanks to the support of a Titan of Italian politics and the founder of the party “Forward, Italy” Silvio Berlusconi.
“I’d marry you if I weren’t already busy,” he joked at their first meeting in 2007, causing a huge scandal and demanding his wife to publicly apologize. This did not stop him to joke in a year, when Mara was held in the Parliament that their faction works right of “first night”.
Success Carfagni often attributed to the influence of Berlusconi maybe she was his mistress, but just don’t spread this around at her home in the Campania region. Here for the first regional elections Mar collected 56 thousand votes and in the capital region, Naples, she was given two times more votes than Silvio himself. Since then his star waned, and the beauty of the Mara in the last local elections of 2016 won with the devastating account.
