ROME - The prime minister has no clothes.

Silvio Berlusconi appears with a giant pair of wings and little else in a new work of art, an equally scantily clad female minister next to him in the composition that is creating a sensation.

Is this the Italian PM Berlusconi forum?
Berlusconi was hit by a man hurling a statuette at him as he was signing autographs at the Milan rally. The 73-year-old leader was taken to hospital with blood under his nose, on his mouth and under one eye.
Berlusconi in pain, will remain hospitalized - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091214/ap_on_re_eu/eu_italy_berlusconi - broken link)

The art work is probably far funnier to many Italians than to Americans, given that Italy has great art from the past wherever you turn.

The picture is clearly a take-off on a neo-Classical representation of Cupid and Psyche.

In lieu of an image, which would probably be deleted as the female minister has bare breasts, you can see the picture here:

How ironic it would have been had that statuette been of him {Berlusconi}?
Still that was very mean spirited regardless of how much you may or may not appreciate his political leadership but then we've been told it was a "crazy" person. Berlusconi did apparently tell his aides that he was worried for his safety. I'm surprised that as the country's PM that his safety wasn't apparently as top priority as the US President and VP seems to be.
Guess no one saw that statuette come flying thru the air ?

Berlusconi loves going into a crowd and mixing with people, and his security has been a nightmare for those in charge of such things.

see the progress:
first they threw boots
now they threw statuette
I wonder what will be next. Obviously objects get heavier and fling is more accurate in course of time.
Hope our prime minister and president will be somewhere in the end of the list
