Who doesn't love the beach? 
Sand, sun and beautiful water. The beaches of the Mediterranean are stunning. Italy is full of beach babes and what do those beach babes wear? Swimsuits, especially the barely-there bikinis. It's enough to make your head spin, right? Personally, I'm a swimsuit watcher. I love to see what the designers do with the flimsy fabric. It gets sexier all the time. In this article, we'll explore 10 of the sexiest and hottest Italian-made suits to ever hit the beach.
1) This bikini (left) comes to us from Roberto Cavalli, a master Italian fashion designer. It's green and has a fish-like scale print. It's just oh-so-sexy.
The piece has a triangle top that closes in a halter in the back and a bottom that gently cups the rear with string enclosures on the sides. 
2) How can you not love this sexy black number from Giuseppe Mulier of the Bikini Company? It's little but provides enough coverage to leave something to the imagination. The starfish print is used in strategic places such as the left breast and the middle of the bottom front as an accent. This creates a very adult - and very sexy - look. This is great for swimming and for sunbathing.
3) Be a heart-breaker in this Heart Print triangle bikini from Malizia by La Perla Mare. The triangle halter top neck caresses the chest. A string holds the cups of the bikini bra together. The briefs are side-tie for easy on and easy off flexibility. In red, white and black, this suit may not make you the Queen of the Beach but it could make you the Queen of Hearts!
4) From the design geniuses of Dolce & Gabbana, we have this white one-piece suit with peek-a-boo front and criss-cross halter top. The D&G logo is strategically placed in the front bottom of the suit.
The high-cut legs and flattering design have a surprisingly-slimming effect too! It's D&G! It's fantastic! It's swimwear that will make anyone look hot, hot, hot!
5) Missoni Sport brings us this sexy little number that's practical and adorable. This is catwalk style that you can swim Olympic-type laps in. The cut-outs on the side flash some sexy, sexy skin and the stripe print which is a trademark of Missoni's helps to draw the eye to the exposed flesh. The shoulder straps are thin. The neckline plunges; and, the thigh slits are high cut. The material is 80% nylon and 20% spandex which makes it perfect for any swim-type activity you love to indulge in. On the right we have another elegant swimsuit outfit by Missoni.
6) This polyamide/lycra suit from Verde Veronica by La Perla has an innovative, metallic look with fantastic accents.
It'll make you the hottest thing on the beach, ladies. The bottom is cut at a generous angle in the back to skim your bottom and expose some sexy skin. The triangle halter top is just gorgeous. On the top of the bra and brief, we have stunning gold rings that add some bling to this bikini.
Ties enclose the piece from all sides. This is the perfect bikini to wear if you'd rather be noticed for your curves than your swimming ability. It's a piece of art.
7) Versace is known for its artistic and sexy creations. This bikini doesn't disappoint on either front. A double triangle-halter top string gives extra support for the breasts which are gently cupped in movable mostly-nylon fabric. The print is part floral but totally avant-garde. The colors are white, pink and black with a hint of yellow to draw the eye to specific points. This suit is a visual feast for the eyes.
Absolutely stunning!
8) This sexy gold-toned one piece from Blumarine is just a dream. It looks like it was made for a goddess. The fabric skims the curves every so gently, practically caressing them. The shiny, gold-tone insert is not only creative branding that says "Blumarine", it's also eye-catching and a great way to camouflage a wee bit of a tummy.
The generous high-cut thigh will make any leg appear longer and prettier. The bottom is cut to skim the derriere and meets in a "v" at the lowest point.
9) The apricot color of this Fendi bikini is best worn with tanned skin. It shoes an olive complexion off to its best advantage. I love this piece because it's sexy but not too over the top. The bust is almost a sports bra in appearance. It gives great coverage and provides just a tease of what lies beneath.
The bottoms of this piece are what is most striking. Of course, both pieces have the Fendi logo. The bottom has cut-outs on the side with just a string holding the piece together. The brief falls perfectly and flatters those with bottoms that nature already blessed. It's a stunning piece that is elegant, simple and very sexy.
10) Last, but not least, is this retro bikini inspired by Emilio Pucci. Step back in time to the 1950s with this sexy paisley print bikini with a colorful striped band underneath the bust that is almost like a color chart for the entire piece.
Ties on the back and neck of the top and sides of the panty ensure full coverage at all times. This piece is absolutely fantastic and a throw-back to a simple time. It's a shout out to one of the innovators of the bikini. Che cosa meravigliosa!
So, there you have it, ten of the hottest, sexiest, most beautiful swimsuits to ever hit the beach. Enjoy!

1) Hey, who says a t-shirt has to look casual! Hmm? I know I didn't. This long-sleeve jersey from Blumarine has a boat-slit neckline. The fabric is smooth and looks almost silky. The piece is unlined and made of 100% rayon! I love the little shoe-string laces on the sides and the sexy peek-a-boo sleeves that show a hint of skin! You can pair this shirt with a skirt of any length, dressy or casual pants and; of course, jeans. It's so versatile you will probably want to buy more than one! 
2) From the Armani Collezione, we get yet another gorgeous, designer t-shirt. This stretch jersey tee has a boat slit neck. Its sheer print gives the hint of skin while covering you up in complete comfort. The long sleeves are great for winter or spring.
3) Marni is a designer label that knows women. Just look at this t-shirt. This isn't your boyfriend's (or husband's) t-shirt, is it? It's soft and supple. The cowl-neck is loose and oh-so-feminine. It's comfortable and skims your curves without clinging to them too tightly. This is a piece that travels well whether you wear it on the plane or pack it in your best luggage. This cotton tee looks - and feels - fantastic! 
4) Don't you just love Dolce & Gabbana? Yes, this is a D&G t-shirt! Can you believe it? Sleek. Sexy. Form-fitting. Curve-hugging - and with a touch of feminine lace. This may be the perfect t-shirt. It's almost dressy. However, the Elastane and Viscose combination make this tee one that will fit you like a second skin. It looks great with jeans as seen in this picture; but, could work well with a teeny-weeny black mini - what a perfect club outfit, right? 
5) From Alberta Ferretti we have this classic t-shirt. The lines are simple as is the design, the cut and the fabric. This tee is smooth - made mostly of Rayon. It will glide over your curves. You can wear it with a business suit, a skirt or dress pants for work. You can pair it with jeans or capris for a casual, summery look. Do what you will with it - this t-shirt can take whatever you can dish out! 
6) Who better than Versace to create a t-shirt fit for a rock goddess? This sleeveless piece is perfect to show off your toned arms. The metallic silver on the shoulder is picked up throughout the piece in the logo in the front and in chunks of color on the back. The color splashes vary between lighter purple and a deep, dark purple. This shirt oozes sex appeal and begs to be worn when you are sure to take center stage. It's an attention-grabber! 
7) I loved the last tee so much that I stuck with Versace for this piece! I guess it's the little bit of rock n' roll that grabs me so. I really love the look and feel of this piece. It's just cool. Did you know that the t-shirt is encrusted with studs! How great is that? I love the long-sleeves and the color scheme. If you love the front, though - the back is even better. See the sexy cutouts. Aren't they awesome? 
8) From Moschino Jeans we have this lovely turtleneck t-shirt. The heart-shaped design with the pretty pink embellishments is really what caught my eye. Of course, I also love the t-shirt turtleneck. It's comfortable and warm - great for a cold winter day or night. This t-shirt brings me back to my upbringing in Boston. I love the way it feels. I love its sleek look. The sassy design makes me feel like I'm wearing a painting. It looks great with a white wool skirt - or any a-line skirt you can find. I also love to wear it with jeans for a casual yet elegant look. 
9) This turtle-neck t-shirt may be my favorite piece in this article. It comes to us from Daniela Vecchi. Daniela knows beauty. She's not afraid to shy away from it even with a t-shirt. Look at the lace accents with the sheer, wool/nylon jersey underneath! The high-color of the turtleneck is exquisite and the rear-zip enclosure is sexy and chic. The two-tone lace is a touch of design genius. I really can't say enough about this piece. I absolutely adore it! 
10) I was going to include a basic white short-sleeved tee for the last item. Then, I spotted this Marni t-shirt and fell in love. Yes, I am a fickle, fickle girl when it comes to fashion. There is nothing basic about this t-shirt. It's short-sleeved and made of poplin. The neckline is asymmetrical. The cut is flowing - and flattering to most body types. The design is romantic and feminine. It's an exquisite piece that belongs in anyone's collection, really. 
This phenomenon has become such a custom in Italy that these girls were given particular names after the programmes from veline to letterine, to schedine and so on. This was the necessary first step for these women to gain their popularity. Some of these lovely ladies became lingerie models. Most end up on the calendars of Max or GQ at some point. And nearly all of them end up marrying or going out with famous Italian footballers. Regardless, here are the most popular and beloved sexy Italian women.
Elisabetta Canalis Born in 1978, Elisabetta Canalis started as velina for popular evening tv show "Striscia "Striscia Striscia La Notizia" - Notizia" Notizia a news programme with a funny slant. Thanks also to her love story with Inter footballer Christian "Bobo" Vieri, she then became a regular participant in football tv programmes - and the fantasy of many football tv fans. On top of that, her love story with Vieri has been an excellent matter for Italian gossip magazines, as the couple can be awarded a prize for their infinite number of break ups and "get backs" 'get backs' reconciliations. 
Ilary Blasi Ilary Blasi is still in her twenties, just like Elisabetta Blasi's Canalis; but, her career began when she was still a kid. Her first famous television experiences included working for Passa Parola with Italian popular tv presenter Gerry Scotti. On this occasion, she was one of the "letterine". This was back in 2001. Ilary also had a similar showgirl role in Che Tempo Fa, a weather forecast show. She recently hit the news for her wedding with famous footballer Francesco Totti, who plays for AS Roma, and for deciding to give birth to their first child under water. 
A special mention should be made for Elenoire Casalegno. Yet another calendar girl, sport tv showgirl and beauty contest winner - The Look of the Year (1994). For a change, however, she's not the face of a line of lingerie; but rather, a confectionary firm in Piedmont. Not that this has in any way harmed her ex-volleyball player's perfect body! Other show girls who deserve a special mention in this italian sexy woman article include lingerie stars and show girls Federica Fontana, Flavia Vento, Alessia Mertz and Paola Barale.
