Ludwig stares at a giant television screen, entranced by a local soccer match. He moans and cheers with each play. He fidgets with the remote while sitting on the living room rug. And he acts just like any Italian boy watching the sport known here as "football" or calcio.
In a sense, 10-year-old Ludwig has become a human football, the object of an intense struggle between his two internationally famous parents. Even happy days like Christmas are spoiled for him by this dispute.
"My father asked me if I wanted to go with him," Ludwig recalled. "I said, 'No, because each time you wanted to take me away from Mommy and I don't want that.' He said he was sorry, but I don't believe him."
Ludwig's father is Jeff Koons -- the Manhattan-based artist whose avant-garde sculptures, paintings and photos have fetched millions of dollars.
His mother is Ilona Staller -- the Italian porn star popularly known as "La Cicciolina" (roughly translated "The Cuddly One") who once served in Parliament.

I was living in Rome at the time of her serving in parliment - yes, it is true...only in Italy.
You gotta check out the live Italian TV shows to really get the full picture.!
Don't get me wrong... I love Italy and am married to a great Italian..(he is also a proud new American citizen)(Italians can hold dual citizenship)
But glad not to live in the high taxed-beaucratic mess.
Better just enjoy the food, the views and the espresso!
