No pictures please
The fourth of five posts about Italian election posters. One more tomorrow, then I swear I’ll stop boring you with pictures of Italian wannabe politicos and start boring you with [insert wry self-deprecation which commenters will contradict in a spontaneous outpouring of admiration for my wit and insight].
In a desperate attempt at novelty among all the headshots of middle-aged men grinning inanely for your vote, there is now the anti-image candidate who only shows the back of his head.
I don’t know why, but I suspect he isn’t wearing any shoes with that pin-striped suit.
According to Italian law, as of one month before the election date, posters can only be of a certain maximum size. Any larger posters still remaining after this date are unceremoniously covered up.
Isn’t this a great country?
There hasn’t been the same rash of red noses that hit most of the political posters last year.
I hope you’ve been taking notes
After all my babble about these posters, I leave the final candidate’s picture to you. Discuss.

This is what politics is all about–or should be: comedy and sex. Vota Silvia Scaglione!

Did you see how huge and shiny her shoulder is? She could challenge any opposition councillors to arm wrestle for their vote.
