The Vatican has stepped in after a freshly restored church fresco in Rome sparked controversy for featuring an angel that appeared to resemble Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a close European ally of Donald Trump. According to Italian media, diocesan officials under Pope Leo XIV ordered the image altered, warning that sacred art must not be exploited for political symbolism. While the artist denied any intent to depict Meloni and the parish priest brushed off accusations of partisanship, the Roman diocese issued a firm directive to remove the likeness—underscoring the pope’s broader discomfort with right-wing politics tied to Trump and his allies.
