The Italian Dream Sculpture

THE SLIPPERS – Universally known for his convivial, cheerful, clownish character, Berlusconi has the role of the stereotypical spaghetti and mandolin loving Italian down to an art. (The gags in international meetings of leaders where he is intent on being the centre of attention are world famous, from the rude gesture in the group photo to the delay with Mrs. Merkel. And then the jokes, quips, and capers because Silvio always love to please others). The Mickey Mouse iconography thus alludes to the “cartoon-like” character of the figure and nevertheless, it falls to these improbable (though perhaps not too improbable given the eclectic personality in question) slippers to balance out the sanctity of the shrine with a post-modern effect of mixing up languages, Finally, they indicate that the figure is captured in a moment of relaxa tion and intimacy that certainly contrasts with the dignity reserved for the corpse. And this clarifies immediately that it is not a dead person.
