An Italian artist's Hitler
statue representing the alleged dictatorship of the EU has been
censored by a Florence contemporary art show.
The statue of a centaur, showing Hitler's torso with a
swastika tattooed on its chest and a stag's hooves painted blue
with EU stars, has been pulled by organisers of the upcoming
Florens show in the Tuscan capital's Fortezza da Basso
exhibition space.
Artist Emiliano Corrado, whose other two works were allowed
into the show, said "the statue certainly doesn't have anything
to do with apology of Nazism.
"On the contrary, it is a provocation.
"It represents this Europe, which believes itself holy and
just, good and supportive of others but which is nothing but a
dictatorship, worse than the ones which we have sadly known."
