Mural Depicts Pope Francis Questioning His Funeral 'Guest List'

A mural in Rome has been attracting attention ahead of Pope Francis's funeral, depicting as it does the late pontiff holding a "guest list" for the occasion, and wondering, "Ma questi chi li ha invitati?", or, in English, "But who invited these?" The artwork is credited to the https://www.instagram.com/p/DI00YyvNSJ-/?hl=en&img_index=1 street artist Laika , and shows a guest list including the names of US President Donald Trump, Argentine President Javier Milei, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The partially obscured names of Italian politicians Matteo Salvini and Matteo Piantedosi can also be discerned. Laika called the gathering a "parade of hypocrisy," writing: "I think that Francesco, if he could, would have gladly crossed those names off his guest list."
