Guendalina Canessa faces criticism over luxury watch purchase

Guendalina Canessa, a former reality television contestant and digital entrepreneur, has faced social media backlash after showcasing a luxury Rolex watch. The timepiece, crafted from 18-karat white gold and adorned with diamonds and blue sapphires, has an estimated value between 80,000 and 130,000 euros.

Critics argued that displaying such an expensive item was insensitive given the current social and economic climate in Italy. Canessa responded to the controversy by clarifying that the purchase was made prior to recent social unrest, including protests and supermarket shortages, noting that she would have felt guilty making such a purchase during those events. She emphasized that the item was purchased with her own earnings.
