Description
On February 6, 2008 Italian President Giorgio Napolitano dissolved parliament and an election date was set for April 13-14.
And so, when I was in Rome last week-end, the city was full of electoral posters and interesting signs on the walls…
Fast Facts:
1. Prime Minister Romano Prodi was Forced to Resign after losing a no confidence vote on January 24, 2008
2. President Napolitano had resisted calling snap elections, but claimed he was forced to "by the negative outcome" of the interim government's attempts to work together
3. Media magnate and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the current favorite
4. Represents the collapse of Italy's 61st government since World War II
5. Second shortest parliament in Italian history

The Italians seem to have had more changes of parliament than some of us sixties hippies have had lovers!

Well, after having sent the "Duce" to the inner circles of hell they decided to make democracy an endless celebration. Ars vivendi, like in so many other respects.

Looks as if this guy is just barely hanging on... What will be the future of Itally...and of that entire part of the world? Amazing how one government can affect so much around it. I wonder if this guy is really so black and white.

Pardon de m'être trompée sur la précédente ne regardant que l'image sans lire le texte sur l'affiche : il s'agit de l'Italie Tu aurais du t'intéresser à celles d'en France il y a un an... On est salement !! Je travailles mais demain je ne pourrai plus payer mon loyer, alors mon fils et moi nous serons expulser entre avril et novembre si je ne peux pas payer le gros loyer As-tu vu les révoltes en Egypte, en Burkina Faso, en Haîti etc sur le manque de pouvoir d'achat C'est bientôt dans les rues d'Europe q:) Bise

Voilà une bien belle image. Le rendu de la matière est excellent. Cela me rappelle bien des souvenirs de campagne electorales ou de périodes militantes. Nous partons bientot pour Cuba, sans doute y aura -il d' interessants affichages également

"Only" a snapshot or a sort of art? I cannot decide! Is this a real snapshot or is this a sort of photo manipulation? If this is a snapshot, then you have a very good eye for those situations. If it is a manipulation, then you are a great artist with photoshop...LOL... Great work!

This poster reminds me of something I'd see in Prague, or in the film version of Aeon Fluk: both look back at a Communist-influenced past where everything seemed to be dominated, conveyed, and controlled through stark and manipulative visual sense. Unlike other "political" images, this one captures something of what I take to be the mood there; you've captured the layered posters wonderfully, but the manner in which you present this image also conveys something of the people who put the posters in place! This is the kind of work that invites deep contemplation and offers an intriguing bit of provocation as well. Fantastically done! This is one of my favorites!
Janiss
Une série passionnante que tu as su travailler très artistiquement!
