(Fox News) — It’s a definite case of strange bedfellows.
In a gift that speaks to a presidential-sized man crush, Italy’s controversial former leader Silvio Berlusconi gave Russian president Vladimir Putin a king-sized embroidered duvet — with a blown-up image of the men embracing — as a birthday present.
The custom-made duvet cover shows the three-time prime minister and Putin, who turned 65 during the weekend, shaking hands against a backdrop of Russian and Italian landmarks, such as Rome’s Colosseum.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Putin was enthralled with the snug souvenir.
