An artist who restored a fresco in a church in central Rome with a likeness of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has wiped out his own artwork after it sparked outrage.

The story began on Saturday when La Repubblica daily revealed the face of a freshly restored winged figure in the San Lorenzo in Lucina church closely resembled Meloni.

Meloni herself left a bemused comment on Instagram next to her supposed likeness, saying: “No, decidedly I do not resemble an angel.”
