Former Formula One boss and
billionaire businessman and playboy Flavio Briatore on Friday
lamented the social-media glee that has met the semi-destruction
of his famous Tuscan coastal resort discotheque by one of the
tornadoes that have swept northern Italy in the last two days
leaving two dead in Tuscany.
"A wind spout has destroyed half of Twiga," he said of the noted
nightspot in the chic beach resort of Forte dei Marmi near
Lucca.
"Reading the comments on social media, we have made a lot of
people happy.
"I can't understand, what a country of spiteful losers we
are...Twiga gives work to 150 people, it generates million-euro
business for the area, but I'm happy to make so many people
happy on a day like this.
"They're happy at the misfortune that happens."
The former Benetton and Renault F1 boss and Queens Park Rangers
chairman added: "I voice support and solidarity for all the
watering holes of the Versilia area" and said "the handful of
losers who are happy don't serve any consideration: they're
sh**s".
Briatore, who was part-owner of the London soccer club, is also
part-owner of Twiga.
There is another Twiga disco at Otranto in Puglia, and at other
famed Italian resorts.
