A gay man's allegedly too gaudy
tomb has caused a stir in a Brianza town.
The tomb of Carlo Annoni, who died at 61 in April, is a huge
box in phosphorescent colours ranging from electric blue to
bright yellow, plastered with large photos of the late nurse
taken by his partner of 36 years, Corrado Spanger.
The tomb has quickly become a popular visitors' site.
But the centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party in the town of
Mariano Comense has filed a petition to restrict tombs' colour
schemes, saying "they (gays) want equality so they should behave
like everyone else".
Spanger told reporters: "Carlo and I wanted to show that gay
love, if lived with intensity, like we did, gives you a colorful
life".
