Giorgia Meloni becomes a street painting: a new mural by artist Alexsandro Palombo was recently installed on a wall in Milan's Piazza San Babila. The work, titled "Santa Giorgia," was created following the results of the European elections, which yielded an excellent result for Fratelli d'Italia. In an image that strongly evokes religious iconography, the mural portrays the Italian prime minister as the Virgin Mary. The prime minister is depicted in the act of breastfeeding a child, with a halo of stars around her head. These stars resemble those on the European Union flag. The work has elicited a variety of reactions from the general public and critics, contributing to the ongoing discussion about the Italian political scene and the role of art in politics. This mural is part of Palombo's series of works, which are known for their provocative style and use of art to comment on current events and social issues.
