A statuette of Italy's first women
Premier Giorga Meloni is vying with those of Argentine soccer
legend Diego Maradona and Britain's Elizabeth II as the most
popular buys for customers at Naples's famous nativity-scene
shops, master creche maker Genny Di Virgilio told Italian radio
Thursday.
Di Virgilio, one of the top presepe artists on the iconic Via
San Gregorio Armeno, said the depiction of a victorious Meloni,
crafted even before her crushing September 25 election win, was
"one of the most popular pieces of all, especially the small
version, 15cm high, which costs 20 euros".
Asked which were the top sellers at the moment for this
Christmas, Di Virgilio told Un Giorno da Pecora : "Meloni for
sure, together with Maradona and Queen Elizabeth".
