Dario...i think the point of her thesis is to show the depravity side
of the naked side of art...she is probably aware that all of europe
has many works of art in the public places and of course the vatican
is no exception and would not be of any value to her.....even india is
one of the places that censors nudity...yet has graphic displays of
pornography.....in public....jz
