TL;DR

A restored fresco in Rome’s Basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina appeared to depict Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as an angel or Nike, sparking a political row as opposition calls for accountability and the Culture Ministry reviews the original designs (painted by the same artist 20 years ago). Meloni posted a lighthearted Instagram remark to defuse the clash, while the diocese stressed artistic freedom and distance from the political implications.
