The provocative statue of a mermaid placed in a square in a fishing village in Puglia, southern Italy, has caused an uproar.

The statue was created by students at the Luigi Rosso art school in Monopoli before being positioned in a square named after the scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini .

The artwork, which has not yet been officially inaugurated, became the subject of ridicule after photos taken during its installation were shared on social media.

Bari-based actress Tiziana Schiavarelli wrote on Facebook that a friend in Monopoli had rightly expressed some bewilderment about this 'monument', writes The Guardian. " Looks like a mermaid with two silicone breasts ," she wrote. 

Schiavarelli emphasized that there was no problem with the art students or the local council that commissioned the work. " But I'm very happy with it ... who knows if it will become a further attraction for tourists ," she added. 

Statues of women in other areas of Italy have caused similar controversy. In 2021, a bronze statue portraying a woman in a transparent dress in the Campania town of Sapri sparked a sexism row. 

The work, by sculptor Emanuele Stifano , was intended as a tribute to La Spigolatrice di Sapri ( The Gatherer of Sapri ), written by the poet Luigi Mercantini in 1857. The statue, which was described as an "insult to women", was discovered. during a ceremony attended by former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
