What some (like this desperate-Dustin Hoffman-Graduate era type boy) would call hot as, has been deemed inappropriate by council members in Venice.
The billboard, featuring the smouldering Julianne Moore, along with her naked body, some jewels, a black and gold handbag and a couple of cubs was going to be placed on Doge's Palace, overlooking St. Mark's Place.
Acting as an advertisement for Bulgari, the controversial billboard summons up past images, such as the famous
Sophie Dahl-Yves Saint Laurent advertisement.
Regardless of the criticisms, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that Ms. Moore would be the Anne Bancroft to my pitiful Dustin Hoffman anyday!
