Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi has insisted he only throws elegant, dignified soirees at his villas and not wild parties described by a Rome-based U.S. diplomat in a cable contained in the Wikileaks trove.

According to the cable, the diplomat said of Berlusconi that "frequent late nights and penchant for partying hard mean he does not get sufficient rest."

Berlusconi said Monday he didn't attend "wild parties."

He added that "once a month, I throw dinner parties at my houses, where everything takes place in a proper, dignified and elegant way."

Berlusconi has been accused of entertaining escorts and underage girls at his villas.
