In 1985 La CICCIOLINA switched to the Partito Radicale, campaigning against nuclear energy and NATO membership, for human rights, and against starvation anywhere in the world. CICCIOLINA was elected to the Italian parliament in 1987, representing the Lazio district of Rome. She starred in her last porno film in 1989. CICCIOLINA married American sculptor Jeff Koons in 1991. KOONS produced sculptures and paintings of CICCIOLINA and him having sex which were exhibited as Made in Heaven. Their marriage broke up in 1992, and their son Ludwig was born shortly afterwards.
