Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi (right) has an underground lair worthy of James Bond supervillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld — aka No. 1. — the inspiration for Mike Myers’ Dr. Evil.
The former Italian prime minister infamous for alleged wild sex orgies has a secret cave decked out like the lair of a James Bond villain, the Daily News reports.
Photographer Antonello Zappadu has posted photos to his blog of the absurd underground oasis that connects Silvio Berlusconi’s Sardinia getaway to the Mediterranean Sea. It’s the world’s first look at Berlusconi’s lair, built in 2004.

Berlusconi’s cave. That’s a mosaic of Poseidon on the floor of the pool. Nice touch.

Berlusconi’s cave again. Lovely mood lighting.
Another shot of Silvio’s lair. Groovy, baby.
