The cancellation of an exhibition about art and homosexuality

Gabriele Detterer reports on the scandal involving an "Arte e Omosessualita" exhibition in Milan. "Around 150 works of art showing how the fine arts deal with the subject of homosexuality were to go on show in the Palazzo della Ragione [in Milan]." But Detterer explains that the exhibition, which was organised by the city's head of cultural affairs, just opened a few hours before being cancelled after Milan's conservative mayor Letizia Moratti exercised her right of veto against three exhibits. "'Miss Kitty' is the title of the piece that triggered the scandal. This sculpture depicts a half-naked transsexual with more than a passing resemblance to Pope Benedict. According to the mayor its creator Paolo Schmidlin overstepped the limits of the ethically acceptable. The scandal that erupted on the eve of the opening, turning the show into a 'Mostra delle Vergogne', is a clear indication that without political consensus Milan's cultural policy is careering out of control."
