Well, since Italy is very VERY Catholic, and hopefully I'm not wrong saying this but their government is also, I don't think it's wrong for them to ban it. I just don't agree that this is tasteful. The painting represents one of Jesus' last moments, so yeah I can see why Catholics would think it's wrong. I'm not even religious and I think it's wrong. I'm sure if it was Martin Luther King, Jr. or some other big historic person, people would be having a fit.
