Culture Undersecretary Sgarbi in sexism storm

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 2 - Culture Undersecretary Vittorio Sgarbi is at the centre of a sexism storm over a vulgar, foul-mouthed speech he made at an event at a Rome museum.
    Employees at Rome's MAXXI contemporary art museum wrote to their director to protest after Sgarbi spoke extensively about his "dick" and his sexual conquests and gave estimates about the number of women famous statesmen of the past had had sex with.
    The speech, made during an event to present the museum's summer programme, can be seen online.
    Sgarbi, an explosive art critic who is never far from controversy, was angered by the row.
    "In that case, let's censor (Pier Paola) Pasolini's (novel) Petrolio and (Lucio) Battisti's (song) Dieci Ragazze Per Me (Ten Girls for Me)," he said. (ANSA).
