Soon after the Russian Church condemned pop queen Madonna’s crucifixion performance in Rome, the ‘Material Girl’ is surrounded with yet another controversy. She has attracted criticism from the Catholics over her H&M clothing ad draped over the scaffolding of Milan's landmark Duomo. An advertisement from Madonna's latest modelling job, as the face of the autumn/winter range of Swedish fashion firm H&M, appears on the side of the world's largest gothic cathedral. But despite increasing protests over the H&M banner, the revenue from which is helping bankroll restoration of the cathedral, the Duomo's Monsignor Luigi Manganini said the ad would stay up for the duration of H&M's contract. "It's just an ad, certainly not a canonization. When it was accepted, the poster seemed all correct and appropriate for its place, and it still is", E!online quoted Manganini, as telling Italy's Ansa news agency. The head of culture for Milan's city council also agreed, claiming that the complaints, primarily by Catholic parents' association and Milan's Advertising Progress Foundation, are creating fuss over nothing. "The other parts of the building are full of devils and demons," Vittorio Sgarbi told the city's Corriere della Sera newspaper. "So an infernal Madonna shouldn't hurt us too badly", he said.
