A recently restored fresco of an angel in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina in Rome has drawn attention because its face resembles Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The Vicariate of Rome, which oversees the church, has launched an investigation into the restoration work, stating the painting was not originally like that and that sacred art should not be used in this way. Meloni made a joke about the situation, while the Vatican reportedly ordered the removal of her likeness from the artwork.
