A central Rome street mural showing
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio
kissing anti-migrant Euroskeptic League leader Matteo Salvini
was removed Friday.
"I have other preferences," Salvini said about the street
art.
Two other murals were also removed.
One showed rightist nationalist Brothers of Italy (FdI)
leader Giorgia Meloni holding an African baby and the other
showed AS Roma soccer legend Francesco Totti dressed like St
Francis of Assisi.
The murals appeared overnight ahead of the first session of
the parliament which features Di Maio and Salvini as the big
winners of the inconclusive March 4 general election, and no
majority in sight.
