During our weekend in Rome, we came across a protest. I don't speak Italian and am, therefore, in blissful ignorance as to what the protest was all about. But the words "Mafioso" do occur on some of the sheets of paper which have been stuck to the statue. If you know more about the protest or what is said on the papers - please get in touch and let me know. Click on the pictures to see larger versions of them.
