[ad_1]
An “explicit” painting on display at the Lingotto Fiere as part of “Torino Comics” in which Lega leader Matteo Salvini is seen intent on giving the Roman salute with a European Union armband causes discussion. And with the addition of a particular “forbidden to minors”. “Disgusting crap. I would say painful» writes the Minister of Infrastructure on Instagram, posting the photo of the work hosted in the “red zone” of the exhibition dedicated to erotic comics. The author is the Spanish cartoonist and illustrator Luis Quiles who had already made himself known in the past for his style made of sarcasm and provocation (“Sensitive souls refrain from taking a look at his drawings” reads the back cover of a volume that collects his works). In a post, the artist, stage name Gunsmithcat, replies to the vice president of the Council as follows: “It seems that Salvini did not like the portrait I made of him”.
But the story immediately triggers a political controversy: «I think it is appropriate to ask the organizers of Torino Comics to give explanations regarding this exhibited work because displaying certain offensive ugliness with the patronage of the Piedmont Region is not acceptable» says Fabrizio Ricca, Northern League Councilor for Security of the Piedmont Region.
