A fresh piece of street art in Rome
Thursday showed a headstone declaring "the end" of the
centre-left Democratic Party (PD), which is licking its wounds
after a March general election debacle.
The mural in Via del Babbuccio near the Trevi Fountain also
said "we are the revolution" and claimed to testify to all-time
low PD membership in 2018.
It is the fifth piece of election-related art found in Rome
since March 4.
The first showed a kiss between prospective government
partners, the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader
Luigi Di Maio and anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader Matteo
Salvini.
The second showed far-right 'sovereignist' Brothers of Italy
leader Giorgia Meloni holding an African baby.
The first and second murals were both discovered on March 23.
The third piece was a version of Caravaggio's Cardsharps
showing Di Maio, Salvini and centre-right Forza Italia (FI)
leader Silvio Berlusconi, near the presidential palace on April
13.
The fourth mural was discovered on May 3.
Inspired by Raphael's Fire in the Borgo, it showed PD
ex-leader Matteo Renzi carrying Berlusconi to safety while the
PD headquarters burns down
It was painted near the PD's HQ in Via del Nazareno.
