Tonino Lamborghini has publicly disavowed Flavia Borzone as his daughter, issuing a strongly worded letter asserting she is not biologically related to him and accusing her of “reprehensible opportunism.” The statement, released May 15, 2024, comes amid Borzone’s campaign for the position of President of the Emilia-Romagna Regional Council, a move Lamborghini suggests is motivated by an attempt to leverage his name for political gain.
Lamborghini’s letter, dated May 12, 2024, and updated May 15, 2024, at 12:19 (Central European Time), directly addresses the claims of a familial connection. He states unequivocally, “Flavia Borzone is not my daughter, it will never be.” He further alleges Borzone’s actions are solely driven by a desire for personal advancement, characterizing them as opportunistic. The dispute introduces a personal element into the regional political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections.
Flavia Borzone, a councilor in Bologna, is running as a candidate for the center-left coalition in Emilia-Romagna. She previously acknowledged a relationship with Lamborghini’s brother, Edorado, and has publicly referenced a connection to the Lamborghini family. Tonino Lamborghini’s denial casts doubt on those claims and raises questions about the basis of her association with his renowned family name.
Tonino Lamborghini is an Italian businessman and heir to the Lamborghini automotive empire,known for his involvement in luxury goods and branding. The family’s legacy is deeply intertwined with the Emilia-Romagna region, where the Lamborghini company originated.
