BUDAPEST (MAY 10) - The Italian MP and porn star Cicciolina, who won election to parliament partly on the prowess of her bare breasts, is to be married in an evangelical church in her native Budapest on June 1, Hungarian radio reported Friday. Pastor Zoltan Szokolay, the clergyman who will perform the ceremony, told the radio that he was surprised that Cicciolina, whose real name is Ilona Staller, wanted a religious ceremony for her marriage to the German-American "kitch" sculptor Jeff Koons. Cicciolina had said that she "would lead a new family life and would have children", and he had accepted to conduct the service because Christ had had mercy on sinners, the pastor said. The service would cost the normal sum of 1,000 forints (20 dollars). Cicciolina, who acted in pornographic films, entered politics in 1980. She quickly attracted attention by riding naked in an automobile through the streets of Rome. She was elected to parliament in 1987 as a member of the radical party. She said recently that she favored the creation of a "love party" to campaign for the re-opening of brothels, and for an increase of one percent in the price of cars to pay for the protection of nature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Massimo Marchi Lewis-112 marchi@gold.cchem.berkeley.edu University of California at Berkeley marchi@UCBCMSA.bitnet Berkeley, CA 94720
