The town of Sarteano, about an
hour southeast of Siena, announced that the iconic symbol of a
three-headed snake from the Etruscan archaeological site there
known as the Tomb of the Infernal Chariot showed up on Gucci
clothing worn by performers at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles
on Saturday.
Show host James Corden wore a black Gucci jacket with the
motif, while musician Santigold wore a pink dress with the snake
emblazoned on the chest.
"Gucci chose it, Santigold and Corden wore it, who knows if
they were aware," a statement from the town said.
"So long as the beauty of Sarteano is being talked about,
even certain courageous and original fashion choices bordering
on kitsch are ok," it said.
