| Description | Former Premier Silvio Berlusconi, challenged in an open letter by his wife over flirtatious comments he reportedly made to other women, publicly apologized to her Wednesday, saying he never meant to hurt her dignity.
"Forgive me, I beg you. And take this public show of my private pride giving in to your fury as an act of love. One of many," said the letter from Berlusconi released by his Forza Italia party.
"Your dignity has nothing to do with it. I treasure it as a precious good in my heart, even when I make carefree jokes," said Berlusconi, 70.
His wife, Veronica Lario, wrote an open letter published Wednesday in La Repubblica — a left-leaning daily and a fierce opponent of Berlusconi — to voice her complaints over what she said was behavior that damaged her dignity as a woman.
"If I weren't married, I would marry you immediately," Berlusconi told one woman at a VIP party after a TV awards ceremony broadcast by one of his channels, according to reports widely carried in the Italian press.
