Witnesses of blasphemy: both the contentious depiction of Jesus and its author are damaged.

In early March, an exhibition was opened in an unconsecrated church near Modena, featuring a painting of Jesus that many accuse of 'blasphemy'. Polemics and petitions followed, not only the damage to the painting, but also a physical attack on its author.
