Fake Priests in Roman Calendar: Art or Deception?
Description
The Calendario Romano calendar, featuring men in priestly collars, has been a Roman phenomenon for two decades. Despite most not being actual priests, the calendars popularity persists, with the main model, Giovanni Galizia, now a flight attendant, finding humor in the situation. The Vatican remains silent, while the photographer, Piero Pazzi, claims a third of the men are genuine priests. The calendar, selling thousands annually, is seen as a way to humanize priests, especially in South Korea. The episode explores the power of images and the stories they tell, even when theyre not as they seem.
