The story of Italian playboy who claimed to have slept with 6,000 women and died while having sex
Italy's most famous playboy dubbed the "Romeo of Rimini," and who claimed to have slept with over 6,000 women in his lifetime, reportedly died doing what he loved best: having sex with a woman. 63-year-old Maurizio Zanfanti suffered a fatal heart attack while having sex with a Romanian tourist in the back of a car, and despite the intervention of paramedics, his life could not be saved.
As the news of his death spread around the country, tributes poured in for Zanfanti, with the mayor of Rimini, the beach-side city where he is said to have begun his exploits, saying that Italy had lost "a legend of the night." However, none could have summed up his life better than Bologna newspaper Il Resto Del Carlino, who reported, "Zanza died after doing what he did best — loving women."
