A beefy chip off the old block: Berlusconi's not-so-little boy shows he too has an eye for the ladies... and knows how to party

With his superhero physique and slicked back black hair, it is immediately clear that the man frolicking in the sea off Porto Rotondo in Sardinia likes to take good care of himself.
He may work hard on his sculpted body but - seeing as this is a working weekday - it is also clear that he likes to relax and party.
What is not immediately clear, however, is this muscle-bound fun-lover is the son of former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Family resemblance: Apart from the rippling muscles, Pier Silvio Berlusconi and his father Silvio share more than just a name. The hair, permanent tan and fun-loving nature seem to run in the family

Sunshine break: Despite it being a working weekday, Berlusconi and his party seem to be taking it very easy aboard their private pleasure craft
Former Miss Italy contestant: Toffanin, a TV presenter, has been in a relationship with the young Berlusconi for 11 years
Armed with that information, another look at Pier Silvio Berlusconi, 43, reveals the similarities between him and his controversial 75-year-old father.
There's that classic Berlusconi bronzed skin - a type of perma-tan that suggests a carefree life lazing in the sun.
Then there's the slightly odd hair - jet black, not a strand out of place regardless of the situation, and with an age-defying hairline that looks almost drawn on.
And finally, there's the unmistakable family trait of enjoying the company of scantily clad ladies.
Unlike the notorious 'bunga bunga' orgy allegations leveled at his father, however, Pier Silvio's sunshine party is both innocent and all above board.
The pretty bikini-clad woman by his side is his girlfriend Silvia Toffanin, a former Miss Italy contestant and TV presenter.
The pair have been an item for 11 years and have a two-year-old son together, Lorenzo.
But it was an adults-only party on Tuesday as Berlusconi and Toffanin left Lorenzo at home.
Pier Silvio is an entrepreneur and executive of Mediaset, the Italian commercial television network controlled by the Berlusconi family.
