Italian media emphasize the restorer's connection to right-wing political circles, which has sparked rumors that the features of the angel were intentionally stylized to resemble the image of the Prime Minister representing the far-right party "Brothers of Italy".
On her Instagram page, Meloni posted a photo of the fresco and ironically reacted to the situation, stating:
“No, I definitely do not look like an angel,” she added a laughing emoji.
The Italian Minister of Culture, Alessandro Giuli, has initiated an investigation into the fresco to clarify the details of the work carried out and determine further actions.
