Italian artist Giuseppe Veneziano recently opened a show that features superheroes and various loved cartoon characters as well as prominent historical personalities doing unspeakable acts of crime and passion. Catwoman, Robin and Batman having a threesome, Spider-Man snorting cocaine, Spider-Man and Batman hand-cuffed and masturbating Wonder Woman are among a few of them.
The show in Pietrasanta, Italy has stirred up controversy due mostly to it’s image of a baby Hitler cuddling up with the Virgin Mary, but it also features several other strange images of beloved and some not-so-beloved characters engaging in ridiculous activities.

about the painting of the Virgin Mary
hello this is Claudio Francesconi, i own the gallery that produced the exhibition Zeitgeist with the artist Giuseppe Veneziano.
I need to say that the meaning of the painting and the choice to use it as main banner of the exhibition was not actually to make an easy provocation.
I consider the painting a great interpretation of last century and i can see behind the colors a peace message: Everybody is God's son... everybody has a mother and a father... even Adolf Hitler had. The good and the evil belong both to human being...
Whether you believe in God - then God created everything and everyone.
This is the meaning of the painting, i hope you all apreciate that.
My gallery is been very proud to present this artist; we often afford difficult topics: for example we made few months ago a nice exhibition against homophobia from the artist Dorian X.
