Serie A presenter Eleonora Incardona has delighted her Instagram followers with risqué poolside snaps taken during a sun-soaked break at Lake Garda.
The 35-year-old DAZN host, who has amassed 1.4 million followers on the platform, shared a series of photos from an extravagant property overlooking the Italian lake, captioning the post: “A little escape, just what I needed.”
Bikini selfies and fan reactions
One snap showed Incardona taking a selfie in sunglasses and a tiny brown bikini, with her waist underwater, prompting fans to praise her figure in the comments. Another photo featured her in a blue and white polka-dot bikini, sunbathing on a towel beside a giant round bath and glasses of wine.
Fans responded enthusiastically, with one dubbing her “gorgeous,” another lauding her looks as “wonderful,” and a third swooning: “You are really beautiful darling.” Some compared her posts to those of fellow DAZN presenter Diletta Leotta, with one fan quipping: “It's a personal challenge between these two.”
Criticism from a Swiss presenter
Incardona’s eye-catching TV outfits have previously drawn criticism. Last summer, Valentina Maceri, who presents Champions League coverage in Switzerland, said the DAZN girls’ outfits demonstrated little professionalism and “lack style and class.” Taking aim at Incardona, Giusy Meloni, Leotta, and Marialuisa Jacobelli, Maceri said: “If you want to speak on an equal level with players and officials, it's not conducive.” She added: “Incardona mainly presents the betting odds. And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly.”
Personal life and relationship
Despite the criticism, Incardona has continued to grow her following and enjoys life with her boyfriend, AC Milan midfielder Samuele Ricci. The pair have been in a relationship since 2024, and Ricci, who joined Milan from Torino in a £20m deal last year, posed for a selfie with Incardona during a visit to an aquarium and a bike ride in the spring sunshine.
Incardona has previously spoken warmly of Ricci, saying: “I met him during a difficult period in my life. Only work helped me to get through it and then a person with true values appeared.”
