Mamma Mia
whatsa matta fa you!!!
Is that a pic with or without the symbols? [Sorry if it’s a dumb question, but I can’t tell.]
I’ve seen this before. That looks like the original.
Imagine what that thing would be like when the winds pick up.
Rudy Giuliani had to do the same ting in New York City. The liberals were mocking Christianity.

Of the thousands of documentaries that have been done on Ancient Egypt, I have seen only one that correctly and accurately depicted the daily rituals the temple priests would go through and the statuary they used. These rituals included a numvber of statues with very large phallic appendages. The rituals were lengthy and...let's say graphic.
But all that has to be kept out of a Nat Geo show or any other for that matter.
Peepees are dirty. Can't have phallic images on the old TeeVee.
What a couple of dickweeds.
Dangling phallus ping......
Is that a woman, uh, poking a stick at one of the phallic symbols in the tree? A forerunner of NAG, perhaps.
All jokes aside, I had an art history prof in college who devoted almost an entire class to Italian phallic art. The good professor seemed to get his jollies showing college students pictures that would normally be verboten.
Some women think it’s only money that grows on trees.
Are they nuts?
I'd hate to think any modern Western art scholar would deface a painting in restoration by altering its appearance.
This site also has an alternative explanation for the mural as having nothing to do with fertility, but complex imagery warning that if the Ghibelline party were to take over they city would be, well, screwed. The menacing eagles support that interpretation as they were a symbol of the Ghibelline or Imperial Party. Massa was a wealthy Guelph, or Papal city.
Maybe the mural survived because others thought it was a fertility piece and not political art.
