Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's private conversations with an escort, which have riveted Italians all week, may wind up getting him into trouble with Italy's archaeological authorities... In one of the transcripts of his purported conversations with Patrizia D'Addario posted on an Italian website, Berlusconi boasts to her about his sprawling villa in Sardinia -- complete with an ice cream parlour and artificial lakes. "Here we found 30 Phoenician tombs from (around) 300 BC," the voice is heard to say.

Berlusconis lawyer denies archaeological scandal

Berlusconi's lawyer denies archaeological scandal -- "Prime Minister Berlusconi would never have talked about discovering 30 Phoenician tombs in his park, because nothing like that is there or has ever been found at the villa," said Niccolo Ghedini, who is also a legislator for Berlusconi's People of Freedom (PDL) party. "The whole area was subject to an exhaustive search by judicial authorities a short time ago, including the villa and the park. Another search can be conducted at any time," he said. The lawyer has repeatedly denied the authenticity of the tapes, branding them "a product of the imagination," and warned that it is illegal to post or publish them.
