Depiction of "SuperPope" Francis before and after Rome's speedy (or not so speedy) Decorum Squad. |
The National Catholic Reporter has noted that the graffiti mural, was dubbed "SuperPope". It was first spotted on Tuesday and is the work of Italian street artist Mauro Pallotta.
It marked a new city record given the piece went up Monday night and most illegal urban “decorations” are ignored for years. Notice the illegal cafe’ sign that quickly filled the void…
The artist, Mauro Pallotta, said he saw the censure coming. He told the Italian newspaper La Stampa that “city decorum” officials had been circling “dangerously close” to his piece on Wednesday.

“But the people’s reaction stopped them. There was a small revolution. They left, but they’ll be back,” he said. And right he was.
Of course, we at Triablogue, interested at being at the cutting-edge of things, have repeatedly offered you the concept of “Superpope”, with “Pope Francis” appearing with the famous “Superman” logo.
An appropriate thought for “Super” Sunday.
