The local parish priest has denied Rimini beach 'playboy king' Maurizio 'Zanza' Zanfanti a funeral after he died aged 63 of a heart attack after sex with a 23-year-old eastern European friend and escort, local sources said Friday.
Zanza's send-off has therefore been moved to Rimini's monumental cemetery.
The local priest said he did not want to officiate because of the "media hype" surrounding the sex symbol's death.
The beach lothario, who said he seduced up to 200 Scandinavian, German and British tourists "with kindness" every summer and had a career total of over 6,000 notches on his bedpost, was once featured in a two-page spread in Germany's Bild magazine.
