Hi Frankele,

My friend Willemieke Molenaar showed me these photos she took last summer while on vacation in Piemonte. They were taken in Monta, South East of Torino….The fading ad is a portrait of Benito himself, still there from WW-II times. If you look carefully you can see bullet holes in the wall. Supposedly the portrait is regularly being shot at, I guess to show how people feel about it. Curious what you think about it!

Lfs,

When we had asked a local woman about the meaning of this sign, she at first thought we were kidding. She had never noticed it in all the years she had lived there. The dislike of “foreigners” was palpable. Berlusconi won the recent election on an anti-immigrant stance.
