I wrote in the previous post that it would have been the last one in the series on the ladies running for office in Rome's local elections on April 13-14, but I was unreliable as usual: I almost forgot about Emilia Cucciniello, 43, better known as former porn-star Milly D'Abbraccio, whose filmography includes subtle titles such as Tanti cazzi per Milly (Many dicks for Milly) and Una famiglia per pene, playing with the word "bene" whereas a Famiglia per bene would be an old-fashioned family while a Famiglia per pene is a rather penis-obsessed family.


Caught at it playing with words again, Milly has chosen to upholster her Roma-X municipality (there are just 20, were they 30 it would have been an appropriate Roma-XXX) with this tasteful and much appreciated poster of her best side, accompanied by the punch-line "Stop with these Ass-faces" (referring to Italian politicians), which is Arse for my British readers or, internationally, Culo. Incidentally, this noble noun is also used derogatorily to abuse homosexuals (eg "Culattone") and no one knows yet how this is going to be taken by Milly's own party candidate for mayor, Mr Grillini, who is a leader of the gay-rights movement in Italy. And yes, in Italy they also have the explicative Testa di cazzo (dickhead) but depicting that other more intimate organ would perhaps have meant going a bit too far... Best luck to Milly (google her for plenty of pics) from Miss Welby, always happy to broaden the Italian CULture of her beloved readers
