Not much is known about the Italian prime minister Romano Prodi and his wife Flavia. Even the biography of their marriage, Insieme (Together), written by her in 2005 doesn't shed much light on their personal life.
Modestly dressed at the best of times, Flavia is ever the dutiful wife, and prefers to be known for her brains.
Wethinks she may be a misfit in the present assembly of women who don't mind their Prada showing up at least once in a while.
