(ANSA) – CREMONA, 05 JUN – The day after the first Cremona Pride, it is time for controversy in the Lombard capital. In particular, the performance in the procession of a life-size doll, disguised as a Madonna, with bare breasts, is under accusation.
A representation judged blasphemous, immediately challenged on social media, where the mayor, Gianluca Galimberti, in particular, ended up in the sights for the patronage granted to the event.
“It is not like this, with this squalid and disrespectful way of the Christian faith, that the rights are claimed”, the chorus of various local exponents of the right rose, from the Lega to Forza Italia to the Brothers of Italy. And above all, surprisingly given the confidentiality, came the polite criticism in tones but harsh in the contents of Giovanni Arvedi, entrepreneur of steel (of his group the steel mills of Cremona and Terni), patron of the Cremonese just brought back to Serie A and patron who built, among other things, the Violin Museum in the city.
Faced with the images of the “Virgin Mary” carried on a canopy with her breasts out, he commented that “these symbols have nothing to do with the legitimate protection of rights and the fight against homophony and discrimination. They are out of tune images. because they offend the sensitivity of others, expressing “amazement and regret” at the fact that no authority has intervened. (ANSA).
