MILAN — An ART APARTHEID scandal is erupting in Italy as the sacred cultural icon, Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” is LOCKED DOWN for the general public for 3 ½ DAYS—while a parade of CONNECTED ELITES and foreign dignitaries are granted exclusive, private access. This is NOT a conservation issue; this is a SHAMEFUL display of TWO-TIERED governance where your passport and politics determine your right to see history.
While ordinary tourists—families who saved for years, devout Catholics on pilgrimage—were left stranded behind police cordons, U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his family received a PRIVATE VIEWING. Delegations from China, Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria were also ushered past the “closed” signs. The director of the institution had the AUDACITY to call this “responsible international relations,” framing the snubbing of the public as a diplomatic courtesy. THIS IS CULTURAL THEFT.
The city itself was HIJACKED for this VIP circus. Trams were rerouted WITHOUT NOTICE, entire streets blocked, and local citizens like Fedeli Gioia were left to fume: “This whole area is blocked because someone is going to see Il Cenacolo? And where does that leave us?” It leaves YOU, the taxpayer and the pilgrim, as a SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN in your own city, deemed unworthy to stand before a painting that supposedly belongs to humanity.
The bitter irony is PROFOUND. This masterpiece, depicting Christ’s moment of betrayal, now serves as the backdrop for a modern betrayal of the public trust. After its controversial use in a Paris Olympics ceremony was condemned for mocking Christian faith, Italian authorities now perpetrate a different sacrilege: turning a site of spiritual and artistic communion into a gated enclave for the politically powerful. The message is clear: in the new world order, even hallowed art is just another perk for the ruling class. This is how our shared heritage dies—not with a bomb, but with a velvet rope and a whispered invitation.
