«Dear Myrta Merlino, my interview in the weekly Pi Più was never authorized by me. The words written by the journalist are almost all invented and my lawyers are taking care of everything. Thank you”. With a post on X Flavia Vento denies her statements about Francesco Totti. The weekly magazine Di Più reports an interview with the showgirl, taken up by other media, in which she confesses to two fiery dates with the former Roma captain. The first in 2001, the second four years later close to the wedding between the footballer and Ilary Blasi, already pregnant with her first child Cristian at the time. «It was a chance meeting. We were in a restaurant in Trastevere. I was at a table with some friends, he was at another. Francesco also wrote this in his book, but he didn’t tell the rest – Vento would have explained to DiPiù -. As soon as we saw each other, our eyes shone, as if we had found understanding again, she could tell from the way we looked at each other that we wanted to be together. I knew she was getting married, all the newspapers were talking about it. But, at that moment, we were not rational, she spoke from the heart. As soon as we left, we went to my house. That night we loved each other, it was very beautiful. There was a very strong physical and mental chemistry between us. Then he said that he couldn’t sleep at my place and we said goodbye sweetly.” «I was convinced that she wouldn’t end up there – admitted the showgirl – that Francesco would be in crisis at the idea of getting married. What we had experienced was too strong. At least from me. Instead, I didn’t even get a message and, hurt, I didn’t look for him anymore. I felt used, I didn’t deserve it, but I kept silent all these years”, she would have declared. Words that now seem to be denied. Citing Mediaset presenter Myrta Merlino (who probably spoke about her interview on her program “Pomeriggio 5”) Vento denies the stated sentences.
