But actually Antonio Cassano has lots of reasons to be happy: with Cesare Prandelli, as Italy’s new coach, he will soon get back into action!

New Liverpool football player Alberto Aquilani’s lovely Italian girlfriend could take out the future title of WAG of the year, at least in her home country. Michela Quattrociocche, famous now as an Italian actress after her role in Scusa ma ti voglio sposare, is creating some attention for herself after a sexy photo shoot for GQ magazine.

Michela appeared in the film alongside Italian heart-throb Raoul Bova and despite living with Aquilani in Liverpool, returns to Italy frequently to work on her acting projects. Michela has revealed that she’s a stay-at-home kind of girl who doesn’t generally go to discos or indulge in the VIP lifestyle. She’s the new Italian celebrity on the block and is behaving herself, revealing that if her boyfriend were to ask her to marry, she would likely say yes. Which is just as well as she has his initials tattooed on the back of her neck. Unless of course she finds another ‘AA’…

Christian Vieri’s girlfriend, Melissa Satta, spent her New Year break in Miami. These pics show the Italian footballer’s girl in a black bikini, which we would say was flattering to her figure, if everything were not flattering on her anyway. The shots of Melissa in a red bikini show her spending New Year’s Eve with Bobo Vieri, and we think you’ll agree he’s a lucky man. The Italians are asking whether you prefer Vieri-Satta as a couple or the Clooney-Canalis duo…?

He, together with his wife Ilary Blasi, is the face of Vodafone in Italy, and they often appear in commercials together. This time Totti has the last word, saying to Ilary “don’t you turn into La Befana”.

There are many ways of gaining yourself a “good boy” image, and famous paparazzi photographer Fabrizio Corona knows a few tricks. He has been appearing in court well dressed in a suit and tie, though given the character of the man involved, I’m not sure he’s pulling off the squeaky clean image quite as planned.

Corona is famous for a few things in Italy: for sex on the beach, for using photographs to extort money from celebrities, drug dealing, and promoting prostitution; and for being the new boyfriend of Belen Rodriguez, Argentinian model and adopted Italian show girl. Many Italians are confused though, as to why Belen would choose Corona over hot (and nice?) Italian footballer and AC Milan player, Marco Borriello. Could it have something to do with sleeping with the enemy, and therefore avoiding the unpleasant flash of Corona’s camera?

Italian football player, Antonio Cassano, from Sampdoria football club, has set his wedding date as June 19th next year. He is marrying another Italian athlete, the lovely water polo player, Carolina Marcialisi, who has been his girlfriend for about two years. Cassano is quite a character in the ranks of Italian footballers, known for his incredible natural talent, but also his laziness and almost naive style.

He is, in fact, quite lovable, but it seems his missed selection to be a part of the Azzurri, Italy’s national football team, has translated to him setting his wedding date for the summer of 2010. Antonio Cassano has not been on good terms with Italy’s coach, Marcello Lippi, and the latter has copped plenty of flack from fans for not selecting the player.

Lippi’s response has been that in Italy, if football fans want to whistle and boo at the man who has given them the world cup, there is nothing to be surprised about. And Cassano’s response, or possible provocation, has been to create an appointment for himself next year such that he wouldn’t be available for the World Cup, anyway. Apparently it will be quite an exclusive ceremony in Portofino…. It’s a strange choice for a guy, but is all in a day’s work as Italian football meets gossip from Italy.

This is a case where the adage “winning isn’t everything” is very true. Italy might be a football-mad nation in which other sports hardly get a look-in, but on the weekend a remarkable example of how Italian tastes and passtimes are changing took place. The high passion, tradition and grand past of rugby union was all the rage on the weekend with the Azzurri playing the All Blacks.

The Italy-New Zealand rugby match at Milan’s San Siro stadium on Saturday night saw a record crowd of about 80,000 people attend. Italy lost 6-20, though New Zealand only scored one try, winning the other points on penalties. Controversy surrounds the closing minutes of the match, with talk that Italy was robbed of a technical try that it should have been awarded. If you think that it doesn’t matter because Italy wouldn’t have won anyway, you don’t understand the great pride the Italians have in the opportunity of playing against a team they consider to be one of the greats in international rugby, and therefore also the great honour that would result in scoring a try.

The “All Blacks” hold an enormous fascination for Italians, more than any other rugby playing national team in the world. The haka is something compelling for the Italians, although the national anthem “Fratelli d’Italia” was something to send shivers down your spine on Saturday. With foreign irony at the stadium regarding the Italians inability to queue or doing anything in an orderly fashion, it was a meeting of two different cultures at a sports match which will be remembered by who was present for a long time yet.

You first saw Alena Seredova on DolceVita winning a prize for the hottest footballer’s wife or girlfriend for 2009. That’s some pretty tough competition for Italian footballer, Gigi Buffon’s partner, who has given birth to their second child, another son, David Lee.

The couple are not yet married, though they have plans to marry sometime in the future, but only when Alena can really let her hair down after giving birth and breast feeding is all over! A small gallery for our readers shows Alena and the couple with their first son.

Italian show girl Melissa Satta has said that while Elisabetta Canalis has won a cute boyfriend in the form of George Clooney, Satta herself would never go for a man that old. Discussing the Clooney-Canalis love story with her husband, former Italian football player Christian Vieri, Melissa Satta has said she has a limit of 40 years old as a target for a man.

According to her “Bobo” Vieri is already on the borderline, which begs the question: what is Melissa going to do when her own husband reaches the ripe old age of 40?! (and how will she cope in the future when at a mere 40 years herself old it will be time to be put out to pasture…?).

Rumours were rife that Italian football player Francesco Totti’s marriage to Ilary Blasi was on the rocks, but the photos which have just been published in Star Tv magazine seem to gainsay those rumours. I don’t know what you think but to me the couple looks happier than ever!

Former Italian football player Christian Vieri will be the envy of many a man when seeing these pics of his sexy Italian lady, Melissa Satta. Rumours back in March had a split between Vieri and Satta, with the ex-velina seen at the house of current AC Milan player, Marco Borriello.

Borriello is Belen Rodriguez‘ ex and is said to have romantic connections with former Italian show girl Elisabetta Canalis. The truth behind the Satta-Borriello rumour would appear to be that the show girl has actually bought an apartment in Milan in the same building as the footballer.

Photos now have Melissa Satta and “Bobo” Vieri on vacation in Miami together, and this gallery of Satta topless for Vanity Fair certainly shows some of the attraction for Vieri. Summer in Italy has moved to Italian summer in Miami, and the Italian celebrity couple would seem to be having fun.
