[txt] Outrage in Venice as giant ads smother cultural jewels – www.guardian.co.uk
Since the end of August, a vast Lancia car has been parked on the front of the Palazzo Ducale in Venice. A giant Rolex watch has been draped over the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, also in St Mark’s Square. And, by the Grand Canal, the facade of the Ca’ Rezzonico palazzo has been smothered with an advert for jeans. “We have reached the point at which there is a naked woman – covered only by a bag – on the front of a church,” raged Da Mosto.
