2014.
Pietà is an Italian word literally meaning “Piety”.
It is also used in many classical literature as “To cry out for help demanding or invoking Mercy”. Today, it
exclusively refers to the most famous master piece of all marble sculptures, from
the Renaissance era now exhibited in the Vatican Museum in Rome; the one by
which Michelangelo have
majestically personified a desperate Virgin Mary mourning a dead Jesus lying on
her lap.
And this is precisely how the famous Italian caricaturist Vauro chose to interpret
the Gaza massacres. Drawing a mourning mother holding in her lap a dead son
killed by his enemies.
