Nude women of ltaly

White boards obscured the sculptures in the Capitoline Museum for Hassan Rouhani's trip, whose country is a strongly conservative Islamic republic. So Italy! You respect Islamic values but the Islamic Republic of Iran does not respect our values [or] our freedom of choice. A statement issued by Iranian women's rights campaign group My Stealthy Freedom called for female Italian politicians to speak out. The statement said: "So Italy! If you are just visiting Iran uncovered you will be deported from the airport or if you are an Iranian woman then you won't have any education.

See comments. Memes are making the rounds mocking Italy's decision to cover up nude statues at Rome's Capitoline Museum with big white boxes for a visit by Iranian President Hassan Rohani. The decision has caused anger in Italy, where it has been condemned by critics as "incomprehensible," "ridiculous," and "submission" to principles that are against Western culture. Speaking on January 27 in Rome, Rohani said that Tehran had not contacted Italian officials to ask for the statues to be covered up.

It's calendar time again in Italy and Gigi, my local newsagent, is quietly disapproving. A taciturn year-old with bulbous eyes, he must be one of the few in the country who doesn't relish the arrival of languid female nudes to adorn his news-stand. Gigi has strong views on pornography, morality and the decline of modern society and needs no encouragement to express them. The girlie mags that abound at child level in most giornalaii have no place in his kiosk but he can't say no to the calendars.

The Italian Renaissance Nude investigates the nude as a means of asserting the superiority of men to women and of naturalising power differentials by entrenching them in a fixed set of ideas about the body and its representation. In the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest , there is a drawing by Raphael of a woman, completely naked aside from her hair wrap. Looking slightly down, she covers her breasts and genitalia with her hands in a pose that mimics that of the famous classical sculptural type the Venus Pudica.
