A month after receiving a DUI driving home from a California winery, Paul Pelosi and his wife, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., jetted off to the beaches of Italy during the two-week July Fourth congressional recess.
The couple visited the Alpemare Beach Club in Forte dei Marmi, located just outside of Florence, as America celebrated her birthday and Americans endured sky-high gas prices and inflation.
A spokesperson said the speaker was at the resort on a day pass and did not stay overnight. The spokesperson declined to say how many times she visited or where she stayed overnight while in Italy.
The speaker and her husband, who was arrested for a DUI a month prior, were spotted walking the sand with club owner and legendary Italian singer Andrea Bocelli and his wife, Veronica Berti.

According to reports, people at the beach did not recognize the speaker while she was out and about on the Mediterranean shore and asked lifeguards who she was.
The resort the Pelosis visited is so exclusive and pricey, patrons need to request a quote for via email to arrange a stay.
The spokesperson said the Pelosis spent their own money during her vacation. "It was a personal expense, they were there on personal travel and flew commercial," the aide said.

"Take a few dips in the clear blue sea and soak up the bright Tuscan sunshine on the VIP Beach, where the Maestro Andrea Bocelli himself could even make an appearance!" the club website says. "During your time at Alpemare, you will indulge in a wonderful wine tasting of Bocelli wines directly from the Azienda Bocelli accompanied with a delicious appetizer."
The Pelosis’ luxury Italian vacation comes as inflation continues to batter many American families.
