Somewhere in southern Italy , a bronze ode to an early socialist uprising was unveiled this week. The sculpture, which is of a 19th-century female fieldworker, possesses some very particular, ah, assets. In other words, she is extremely hot — and she is also stylish, sporting a perfect summery off-the-shoulder dress. It is very sheer and very clingy, as the gaggle of men beholding her seem to have noticed, providing a … convenient view.Who is she? Let me tell you.
Alas, some female politicians in Italy are not so pleased with this tableau. One called it an “offense to women,” and the Italian Democratic Party’s Palermo constituency called for it to be “knocked down,” writing in a statement that the statue is “a sexualised body, devoid of soul and without any connection with the social and political issues of the story.” To which I say: Leave this sultry statue be! Let the Italians have their sexy socialist statue.
The artist responsible for this controversy, Emanuele Stifano, provided what I suppose is an explanation on Facebook. Apparently, he had originally wanted the statue to be “completely naked” because he is, naturally, “a lover of the human body.” According to The Guardian’s translation, he had no desire to explain his work to his critics because they “absolutely only want to see depravity.”
