Mario Draghi on the Iron Throne: Tvboy's street art doesn't spare the Quirinal race

Street art is also tackling the theme of these days of the appointment of the new president of the Republic: in Rome, near Piazza delle Coppelle, on the wall of a building in Vicolo della Vaccarella, a poster by the well-known Palermo street artist Tvboy (aka Salvatore Benintende) has appeared depicting the current premier Mario Draghi on the Iron Throne. He is seen absorbed in his thoughts, with a surgical mask covering his nose and mouth, while with his face turned downward he rests his intertwined hands on the hilt of his sword. The TV series is about the conquest of power, and among the hashtags under the poster’s image on Tvboy’s Instagram profile is the allusive #playcodellesedie.

In contrast, at Milan ’s Cinque Vie district, the street artist created a work depicting a young protester holding a sign reading “A woman’s place is [at home] at the Quirinale,” where “at home” was crossed out by a red sign. The work was almost immediately censored with its deletion by unknown persons. “It is a pity to see that when street works are a bit provocative they are short-lived,” he commented.
