As far as those break-up rumors which spread internationally on occasion, Elisabetta explains:

"It might seem a cliché, but unfortunately it is true: The Italians never support their own citizens who earn an opportunity or a recognition abroad… I don't expect to be celebrated, but neither do I expect the newspapers of our country to use as a reference point a gossip blog which is full of insults, racism and violence."
