Her bunga-bunga-loving dad Silvo makes no attempt to support his country's rich opera legacy, routinely bowing out of La Scala's December VIP-laden opening night of the new season.
However daughter Barbara Berlusconi enjoys the occasional night at the opera. She was papped by Italian gossip magazine "A" while attending the opening night of La Scala's Turandot in the company of Milan AC footballer Pato, a Brazilian striker who plays for her dad's Serie A soccer team. After the show, the odd couple (she's his boss's daughter) went to trendy Brazil/Japan-fusion sushi bar Finger's.
