Italy's privacy watchdog on Tuesday
defended the 13-year-old daughter of Roma soccer legend
Francesco Totti and TV presenter Ilary Blasi after the girl was
snapped with her father in a swimming costume on a beach and
compared to her mother for beauty by magazine Gente.
The watchdog said a minor's right to privacy should always trump
freedom of the press.
Gente has apologised over the cover photo and caption.
Totti and Blasi complained.
The episode was also widely condemned by politicians and
commentators.
Parents group MOIGE reported Gente to the watchdog.
