Everyone wants to be associated with the rich and famous, but the case of beautician Flavia Borzone is a bit more intense than usual. The 36-year-old Neapolitan has claimed that she is the love child of Tonino Lamborghini, the son of Ferruccio Lamborghini, the founder of the legendary hyper-car manufacturer. The twist in the tale, among many, is that she has proof and is not just making baseless stories. The Italian hired a private detective to prove in court that Tonino’s daughter Elettra Lamborghini and she are blood sisters. The beautician was sued by Tonino Lamborghini for defamation along with her mother, Rosalba Colosimo, an opera singer, with whom Tonino struck up a relationship in the late 1980s.
Borzone, born in 1988, aligns with the relationship timeline, yet this alone doesn’t constitute solid proof. Tonino Lamborghini, irritated by the defamation, first secured a civil judgment in 2021, then sued the mother-daughter duo after Flavia publicly asserted that he was her biological father, claiming he had a relationship with her mother. But Flavia is a force that cannot be silenced. She claims she only wants to prove that she is, in fact, related to the Lamborghini family and wants to know the man who is her father. To add fuel to the fire Flavia started, she presented a DNA sample that proves her claims are not unfounded, although her method may be quite unconventional.
Private detectives went to great lengths to comb through the rubbish of singer Elettra Lamborghini to find a DNA sample for genetic testing. It should be noted that the Lamborghini clan has constantly denied being a party to this process.
A discarded straw used by the 29-year-old socialite proved a genetic match between Borzone and Lamborghini. Having been illegally and unknowingly procured, Lamborghini’s lawyers stated matter-of-factly that the sample was taken without consent and was therefore ‘unlawful’ and should not be considered proper evidence.
In response, Flavia’s lawyer firmly stated, per Dailymail, ‘We brought to court the proof that she is not lying. He added that the DNA match proved 100 percent that the women are sisters. For us, it was important to show that Flavia Borzone did not want to offend Mr. Lamborghini; she just wants to be recognized [as his daughter]. She has lived for years without knowing who her father is.’ Many would believe she is going to these lengths for a piece of the family wealth, but her mother refutes any such claims. ‘She just wants the truth. If it had been all about the money, I would have done all this when Flavia was two years old.’ Whatever the truth behind the family drama, it will only be unveiled later as the trial has been adjourned until March.
